When working with Cardboard, it's easier to have it preformed as much as possible, instead of trying to start with a general idea of what you are going to make, glassing, and then grinding / cutting the glass afterwards. Basically, you will have a much easier time working with simpler crafting materials before curing, rather than trying to bend the glass to do what you want to do after it is cured.
A little extra effort towards cleanliness will help make your work area that much neater.
