abcd Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 My roombox almost finished (ordered some different lights- LEDs to add) but I had the hardware store cut the glass for me for the front, I won't use arcrylic/plexiglass etc because they generate and hold an amazing amount of static which attracts dust, pet hair etc, then you have to constantly wipe it and that soon scratches.I don't think plastic sheets have a place in fine art, museums and the like don't frame historic antique paintings with it why would I ?I did some research and found a non glare glass called Museum Glass from Tru-Vue, looking at the side by side photos of a print behind regular glass and this it's amazing, there's still a small amount of reflection ( 1% I think they say) but this is dramatically different, here's an example: I'm going to order a piece since there's no local outlet to get it, I need a piece 10" x 22-5/8" and it looks like the cost might be around $65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeekendMiniaturist Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Thanks for posting this information. I wanted to order some of this glass for some photos for some old car photos for my husband and your post reminds me that I have not done this yet... I wonder if it will cut the same way as standard double strength glass... Please let us know your source. I like the clarity of the museum glass. I wonder how it would photograph for minis? EUREKA! We can use this in the fronts of our roomboxes! I know that is the point of the post, but I've got it now... I always want to take the glass off everyone's roomboxes, so I can photograph as the glare from the glass is frustrating making the photography pointless.
