Post by daughter of venus »

Hello Everyone

I have a very long (70"x 20") expensive piece of artwork that is in desperate need of uv glass. This artists work is about 50 years old and he painted on and with anything and a lot of it has been proned to fading.
My glass supplier can only supply it up to 60" do any of you kind people know of anywhere that I can try.

p.s NO I cant cut 10" off the picture!!

Would acrylic be an option? Wessex do an 80" UV sheet and can cut to size:

HY16 2mm Clear UV Acrylic 2050mm x 1520mm
