I have a customer who has a glass with a logo painted on the top/outside of the glass which creates a problem. The logo painting is beginning to flake off in spots (it's rather old - probably around 30 or 40 years). The customer wants to protect the painting and have the glass framed. Framing the glass isn't a problem, but I'm not sure what would be best for protecting the painted logo. Suggetions???

And it will still flake, so be sure the customer knows. There is probably some sort of conservator that deals in such things, but I don't know one...
That would be a flaky conservator.
It makes me sad to hear of things that are 30 or 40 referred to as "rather old."

A paintings conservator could set the flaking down. Depends what the medium is as to what would work best. Standard agent would be acrylic resin in slowish drying sovent, like toluene, but testing would need to be done to determine best materials.
