Museum Glass, by Harveyn on Dec 11, 2007 10:00:40 GMT 1, Hi
Looking for some help.
All of my art is currently behind UVP acrylic which offers great protection against UV light and has the added advantage of not being as hazardous as glass.
I did get one pencil sketch by Jamie Hewlett put behind Museum Glass and my Tolley's is off to the framer today for the same treatment. One question. On my Hewlett the glass looks crystal clear beside the white paper of the drawing but on the black mount it has a very slight purple/blue tinged at an angle. Has anybody else come across this?
Also has anybody framed their Coloured Trolleys yet as I am undecided as to what colour of mount card to select. Thoughts please?

Museum Glass, by snakes on Dec 11, 2007 10:17:33 GMT 1, the museum / non reflective glass that i have on the 2 prints with black mounts is as clear as crystal.
I imagine however if you have the really good stuff, with a UV filter it may give off a sligh hue (bluish tinge).

Museum Glass, by debsjames on Dec 11, 2007 10:48:23 GMT 1, I have framed a signed Oasis and Paul Weller photographs in a recording session from a photographer friend with museum glass and I would highly recommended it. If it's an valuable print/picture it's worth the money. And it doesn't look like there is any glass...it's mad.

The guy Gary at dyson art is amazing does all my framing. He's also very good at recommending the right frames and mounts for individual pieces. Been pleased with everyone he's done (although not cheap but trust him). ;D

Museum Glass, by lesbianwednesdays on Dec 11, 2007 11:03:10 GMT 1, my adam neate PWG is behind museum glass and sometimes you can pick up a slight green tinge where it stops a reflection, the same as non-reflective lenses in a pair of glasses.
i've not seen any other tones than that though, the print is a good 40mm from the glass though, it might help to have some distance. also bear in mind, the darker the colour behind any glass the more of a reflection you will get.

Museum Glass, by Harveyn on Dec 11, 2007 11:46:24 GMT 1, Cheers Guys
I have just left it off at the framers. The glass alone cost ยฃ219!!! Anyway overall with my 15% discount its going to cost ยฃ244.
I have gone for a double mount with the print float mounted using Filmoplast P90 tape (hinged) on a cream conservation mount (exact colour match to the print) with a second mount around that with a 30mm gap using the same coloured mount again.
The print will have a 15mm gap to the glass.
I have gone for a simple ornate matt black frame that then gets waxed to give you the feel of pure quality. Below is my Hewlett pencil sketch using the same frame.
I will post pictures on Friday when I pick it up.
