[TheForge] glass doors & glass shaping

  The thermal coefficient of expansion of water is 210 x 10-6 per 1°  
Celsius at 20° Celsius. This is about three times that of aluminum  
which is 72 x 10-6. I do not know where this idea that water does not  
expand or contract with heating and cooling comes from.
