I just got some Type 3 glass with a bunch of various
parts I picked up. I was surprised at how much it felt
like regular glass, but in a testament to how strong
it is, I can offer this...

The guy from whom I got everything had put the glass
and other parts in a big rubbermaid bin. One day he
accidentally ran into the bin with his truck and
squished all the parts together. He thought that was
it for the glass for sure. He opened up the bin and
there wasn't a scratch on it. 

Since I heard that, I don't think I'm going to worry
too much about breaking any glass while replacing the
seals, at least as long as I'm careful.
