Broken Glass is a handful of sharp glass shards. It is junk at first sight, yet it feeds crude weapons and glassmaking.
The shards make a Glass Shiv and the glass head of a spear. Make Glass Shiv and the Bind Spear Head recipes both take them at Maintenance 1. In larger amounts the shards go into Melt Glass. Six of them melt in a furnace into a Small Ceramic Crucible with Molten Glass.
Break Glass turns any glass item into shards. Shards also turn up in campfires, braziers, bins and old survivor safehouses.
Uses
Weapons come first. Make Glass Shiv turns the shards into a Glass Shiv at Maintenance 1. Bind Spear Head ties the shards to a Long Stick or Sapling with two Zip Ties, Leather Strips or Twine. The result is a Spear with Glass Head, and the job needs Maintenance 1. Bind Spear Head With Duct Tape does the same with two Duct Tape and no skill. Bind Spear Head With Wire uses two Wire or Electrical Wire with pliers that are kept, at Maintenance 1.
Glassmaking is the second use. Melt Glass takes six Broken Glass in a Small Ceramic Crucible, with tongs that are kept. It needs something to light the fire and one piece of charcoal. The work happens at a Simple or better Furnace. The result is a Small Ceramic Crucible with Molten Glass, ready to pour.
How to Get Broken Glass
Break Glass smashes any glass item into one Broken Glass. It needs no tools, no skill and no station. A spare glass item is worth more as shards than as clutter.

Locations
Late game survivor safehouses hold shards in their stoves about one time in seven. Braziers and campfires in any building hold them about one time in nine. Bins in bars, bar kitchens and bar storage give about one in twenty. Late game safehouse fridges, freezers and counters hold some now and then. Bins in any building, fire stations and hospitals turn them up rarely. Derelict buildings and fast food bins at Jay's Chicken and Spiffo's give only small odds.
