Thank you so much Ken, your information is much appreciated.
thanks, Tony Soprano!
This video is just something else! Thanks
If you frame it yourself, can you just get the piece of glass cut to your frame already?
Missed the most important point; light angle to art to avoid nasty glare.
I have a poster thats worth 65€ should I frame it with acrylic or glass? I mean, which one will give more protection and won't damage the colors of the poster? Im afraid that the acrylic might "eat" the pigments of the colors.
This was very informative and also super funny! Thank you for posting this video!
Does the museum come in plexiglass?
Yes, it’s called optium museum acrylic. It’s absolutely amazing and it has a price that matches that.
@@MrTheshat price that matches what?
@@sergioknuf it’s high quality, it’s quite expensive. The good news is that it doesn’t have any static charge like normal plexiglass so you can use it on pastel art
Great and needed video. Big help. I just tried all the wrong cleaners and techniques. Having watched your video and having switched to micro fiber cloth I found I didn't have any correct cleaners. I'm also a photographer, so I tried optix 55 lens cleaner for eye glasses or lenses. Worked great. Has alcohol and is ammonia free.
Hi Thanks for the tip on optix 55 lens cleaner. I bought some and hope it works!
This was extremely useful information for my decision to frame many film posters. You are certainly a master of your craft, sir!
pls for pastele
Is acrylic glass the same thing as plexiglass? I'm framing some posters and some lithographs. The lithographs aren't worth anything and the posters are just posters. But I have a disdain for that plastic foldable styrene that they put on cheap frames. I don't think I can afford you guys but do you know where I can get some wood frames with real glass for less than 50 bucks?
Helpful. Thank you.
Nice. I'm thinking of getting some museum glass to protect some of my wall decor from UV rays. I currently use custom-cut acrylic which, though very protective from UV rays, is a pain to clean since it scratches easily and attracts dust and pet hair.
Very informative video! If I was local I'd come in to purchase frames from your shop.
Thank you
I use non glare glass for film scanning. Prevents Newton rings and holds film flat, though there needs to be almost no texture in the etching. So I guess there at least two uses for it 😁
This was really helpful. I'm finding it oddly difficult to find information about this topic. Thank you!
Oh man well I need your help. I was about to invest in some large glow in dark canvases. They glow in the dark by absorbing solar light in the day but they also glow in the dark with UV light. So eventually over time these canvases that need UV light to glow also damages the artwork?
its definitely a catch 22, if your art is glow in the dark it won't be able to recharge without uv light.
@@wall-y-world3229 bummer!!! Maybe i can get some uv glass. It may block uv light but I see from your video some will barely get through. Maybe thatll preserve it more
Thank you big help
Hey when did Pittsburgh plate glass stop framing pictures
Good information about glass. I'm trying to place a large tapestry in glass and hang on wall. How can I separate glass from tapestry so it does not damage tapestry?
Amazing video. Very informative and helpful. Thank you very much !
Really great video -- would love to know how to tell if something is framed with regular glass or UV w/o having to take it out of the frame and ruining the backing. Thank in advance!
the most popular UV glass has an orange peel effect to it, it's very hard to see but at the right angle you can notice it.
Hello! I stumbled upon your video while trying to look for a certain glass type to protect and display a picture on my home. I was wondering if you know a good site to purchase Museum glass I’m really interested however, this is my first time buying glass so I’m not sure where to start. Thanks for any advice!!!
I would highly recommend that you go to a local small business frame shop and ask them, glass doesn't ship well and we have to buy it in big sheets so they are likely to have a cut off that you could buy.
I saw a cool picture frame and basically, the glass was tinted gray the picture would be greyed out when you put it in the frame, but I can't find it online. I searched everything like grey tinted glass or floating glass frame tint and stuff like that but I can't find a single one. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
I'm not familiar with that, but I would check with someone that does window tinting
Great video. I live in Miami and need to get glass for my pastel paintings with no reflections. Can you help? Which will be best?
The museum glass or the "optimum acrylic" are your only options, you can't use any other acrylic or plexiglass. The Optimum is expensive but it has no static charge and that's very important for pastel
Great video! What’s the difference beteeen Masterpiece glass from Micheals vs TruVue brand ?
as far as I can tell there is no difference, I think that Micheals just likes to brand their own glass
Very informative… how large can you frame with Museum Glass before having to move to acrylic?
I personally wouldn't go any larger than 40x60 inch
What about cleaning dust from the inside of the glass? Is it different if the inside surface of my museum glass has a special coating?
yes it is, the inside usually has the UV film and it can fairly easily be scratched, just use caution and you'll be fine.
Great video - thanks for posting!
Will cleaning the glass results in the removal of the UV coating?
Good question, if the framer installed it correctly then you won't have a problem, the coating should be on the inside, facing the art.
@@wall-y-world3229 - Thank you for your response.
Thanks for the info. I wish I could find someone to make uv protective acrylic replacements for old oval frames. The big-box stores won''t do it.
Thanks! Please go to your local independent framer, oval uv acrylic isn’t a problem, we can even get the old domed glass in uv acrylic. If you are still having trouble ask your framer to contact a company called inline ovals.
Nicely done.
Thanks for the tip!
Very Informative...
Super helpful and informative. Thank you!! 💟
Why do you use the awl instead of a drill? Seems like it would hurt your hand driving the awl like that.
Great question, I like using the awl because it telegraphs to me what’s in the wall, I know right away if I hit a stud and it makes very little dust. It’s just a personal preference and feel free to use a drill if you prefer.
