What size frame is 2mm glass safe on frame with spacer
Generally what size fame is safe to use 2mm glass to glaze with if using a spacer? When should you start to consider 3mm glass if acrylic is not an option.
To be creative we must lose our fear of being wrong.

A 4' x 3' sheet is pretty stable although I would probably consider thicker glass or acrylic for anything larger than 1m square.
I would also take into account the sturdiness of the moulding I'm using and the rebate size.
