A method for processing thin glass is provided. The method includes: providing thin glass having a flat surface and in a form selected from the group consisting of a sheet, plate, ribbon, and film; scoring the flat surface using a mechanical scoring tool to produce one or more scorings that delimit the thin glass into a plurality of thin glass plates and/or delimit one or more edges of the thin glass; applying a blasting liquid to form a moisture film on the thin glass thereby wetting scorings; and heating the moisture film until it evaporates at least partially to cleave the thin glass at the scorings and forming fresh break edges.
