Steve,

Amazing isn't it? I switched to mar resistant Plexiglas (acrylic plastic)
years ago for framing silver prints and the lack of tint was a real eye
opener. There is probably special tint free glass but not at any price
comparable to 1/8" acrylic.

Hi Martin,

Where do you get your Plexiglas?   Do you ever have much 
problem with the plastic getting scratched or marred and how 
about static electicity problems?  Thanks!
