      From your text you have a void in betwixt your ears.   The problem 
is not how to break glass.   The problem is down the road  when the 
structure returns to nature or is to be torn down, by perhaps a new 
generation of ambitious cobbers who want their own unique layout.   This 
is when glass shards become a hazard.    Additionally if one wanted to 
drill a hole for some installation, etc, the glass shards could be a 
hazard.      

     
I do not see your problem imbedding glass in a cob wall is a solution to rats 
tunnelling into cob structures cheap and environmentally friendly if the 
structure returns to earth in 300 years or so what will you care  as glass is 
essentially sand  will it not return to a harmless compound ?

Try borrowing some intelligence somewhere, before 
you attend any more conferences and you might be helpful.    


You are one of the biggest knob heads on the list and I have thought so for 
some time if you were anybody you would realise that the world building 
conference was attended by the most learned people in the field from all over 
the world . if you came out of your closet once in a while and respected 
other peoples views  you would go a lot further .

.  snip    Additionally if one wanted to 
drill a hole for some installation, etc, the glass shards could be a 
hazard.      

knob head   I do not know what thickness cob walls you build   but mine are 
around 2 feet thick  anything  in the first layer of cob that needed drilling 
 and fixing  would be mabey a skirting board  and drilling in more than a few 
inches would be a waste of time ( when drill hits glass it turns to harmless 
powder)
