Artglass ar uv

Post by Trinity »

My first piece, cut to size and delivered.
It's an old question but is there a right and a wrong way round to fix, I was expecting a sticker on the glass if that was the case and it's not easy for me to ascertain by looing into it to see my reflection.

I think it should be the same as the TV CC I use. There is a coating on one side. try scratching it (very close to an edge that is going under the rebate). If it scratches that is the coated side which goes inside against the mount.

I hope someone confirms this!!! If it is coated both sides does it matter which way round you use it?

I'd like to know too, but in any event it's in and I managed to satisfy myself it's the right way round, even if the other would have been righ too..if you see what I mean.

I think Tru Vue is the only coated glass that has an inside and an outside and it's the UV coating that is the factor there; not the optical coatings.

With Tru Vue, yes - the rest can be scored and shown either side.

Just ordered 3 - 20 x 24 pieces of TV Museum.... needed a mortgage for those!!

Never used 'good' glass before so I'm hoping it goes well, although this past week I may as well given up :head:

Does this stuff come which side is in/out?

Thanks in advance :SD

It might have "This side faces artwork. Score other side" along the edge unless it got sliced off. If so, have a delicate scratch on the edge. The coating will flake off the inside side.
