Re: [Digital BW] 2B pencil did the trick / pricing question

2002-12-17 by Phil Morse

Tom,

For one thing, your glass looks very expensive.  Find a local supplier
that cuts custom sizes.  I use an auto glass place who also supplies the
home market, he charges by the foot and gets $3.67 for a 16x20.  (half
your 16x40)
