without it you just have more glass breaking and flying around. Perhaps I am all wrong on this but I thought that is how saftey glass was made (two layers of glass with a bonded memebrane that keeps the glass from shattering.
It makes a lot of sense that the multiple layers are important... but isn't the bonding substance used PVB rather than PVA?
