A Nine Step Tutorial
Step
Seve n: Glazing
Glazing
is nothing more than placing a sheet of clear glass or acrylic over your
artwork. Pretty simple,
huh? Perhaps the hardest part is cleaning it.
To clean glass try using the
Framing4Yourself Glass Cleaning Kit which
includes a 22 oz. spray bottle of Kinetronics Glass Cleaner, a superior
glass cleaning product designed to clean the lenses of copy machines.
The cleaner contains an anti-static agent. Just remember not to
wipe the glass until it's dry (let the last bit evaporate) as this can
cause increased static charge. If you feel you must wipe it until
it's dry, arm yourself with an
anti-static brush
to take out any static charge.
Acrylic (what many of you know as Plexiglass™) is a useful alternative to glass. It
comes covered with a plastic mask to protect it in shipping. When
you peel off the mask it's probably as clean as it's ever going to be,
but it's carrying a high static charge. Use
210 Plastic Cleaner
with its powerful anti-static agent to reduce the charge. In
addition, it's smart to have an
anti-static brush
near to hand, to
further reduce the static build up which can attract lint and dust.
Use a Wyp-All
Towel to clean acrylic. It's soft, supple quality
won't scratch acrylic the way a plain paper towel can. Framing4Yourself offers it in a variety of
standard sizes.
Clean your acrylic glazing and place it over your matted and mounted artwork.
Then you're ready to fit it all into your frame - once it's put
together.
