    Default Picture Frame Glass

    I gather we have some craftsmen on here...

    Can anybody give me a recommendation for a place to get picture frame glass? I'm talking about the 95-98% UV blocking stuff.

    I went to places like "michael's" craft mega stores but they have plain glass. I can get plain lass at a hardware store. I need something that's going to protect the picture from the sun.

    Thanks,
    Will

    We have a shop in town here that specializes in windows and such where you can buy plexiglass, glass and have them come install windows. They cut glass there as well. A store like that may be located near you and they would most likely have a UV protective glass they could cut to the dimensions you need.

    Yeah, I called a local glass shop, and I got the impression they didn't know what I was talking about. I don't doubt that they're reputable, but maybe they just deal in plain glass. I dunno. I'll shop around a little more I guess.

    No doubt. I was trying to avoid that 'cause it would cut into cigar budge
