Got some sherry glasses my wife particularly likes. This type are almost impossible to replace. Only got 3 left from the dozen that I bought from Pub stock. I have heard that tempering this poor quality of glass will increase thier strength. Is this true and if so what is the heating / cooling cycle and temperatures required?

I wouldn't suggest that this is possible in the home. I suggest that you keep them for best and buy some cheap ones at a charity shop, they're usually only pence and, you never know, if you look around you may even find some matches to the ones you already have.

Tempering is more something you do when the glass is made. Once it is made, there isn't anything you can do.

tempering is done in the origonal manufacturing
no other process can be done to the glass to harden it
