Yeah I would think a diamond-tipped bit would be required or whatever is listed as acceptable for glass. And I believe you follow the same technique as with plexi in that you tape the area you drill in order to avoid cracking.

Yes. Tape the area you are drilling so as not too tear the mirrored backing around the hole your drilling. Use the correct bit or go to a glass shop and have them drill the holes for you. Usually a half sack will get them to drill a dozen or so holes. [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]
