Some may remember my previous post about a lady telling a woodworker friend about 'acid free glass'.
I posted here to find out about it's existence before she came to me.
Well, she came in yesterday. I said I wasn't familiar with acid free glass what does it do. She said it keep the picture from going bad (her words).
I said I'd like to see information on it, wonder if it's something new. I try to keep up. She said No, it's not new ... on one of my pictures for eight years. She got it on her Bev Doolittle picture and her sister did too!
I told her about UV/Conservation/etc glass. Nope that wasn't it and her pictures weren't in direct light any way.
I told her about acid free mats and archival mats and so on. Nope has nothing to do with the mat. It's the glass that has to be acid free or the whole thing is no good.
She said she had to have acid free.
I knew I wasn't getting any where. So I asked where she got it before. She told me and added maybe she could go back there.
I said when you do would you mind bringing me some info on it. I'm always interesting in learning about new-to-me products.
By the way, this precious pencil drawing is going into a barnwood frame. Wood pulled right off her old barn before it fell down. She's framing these herself. I tried gently to explain about the nasties in the barnwood from a 100 years of being exposed to the elements and how the drawing might pull these pollutants into itself and cause discoloring. I suggested she seal the inside of the frame to help slow this process down. I don't think she was listening very close. She said, yeh.
So concerned about the acid free glass but not the barnwood . . .
