I didn't know that.
What grit should you use and do you recommend dry or wet sanding?
I would imagine that you start out with a fairly rough grit for glass say 500 and smooth it out with 1000?

Sorry that is the engineer in me coming out. LOL

That's a good point and if he goes with glass he should ask whoever cuts it to smooth the edges. If they won't do it, it's easy enough to do with sandpaper and a thick pair of gloves. The gloves are important.

I use whatever grit is within arms length, usually 100 or 120, or maybe 180 (if the cut was already pretty clean to begin with). You're just taking off the sharp edge there's no need to polish it. The end result won't look like a piece out of a pro glass shop with a nice rounded edge, just something that's no longer sharp.

Wet is preferable to keep the dust under control.

Wrapping the sandpaper around a wooden block is a good idea. Also, wear gloves.

I've also used one of those 'diamond' knife sharpeners and it worked pretty well.
