Dirty museum glass. fudge will not come clean for anything... Almost punched a hole through a Stout Star Wars print out of frustration. fudge's just gonna have to be all streaky, cause I don't have the time or patience for this.

Aye, it smears and catches the light stronger than regular glass. Frustrating when speck of dirt or smears appear.RottenAtom wrote:Dirty museum glass. fudge will not come clean for anything...

As a noob I had a Stout SW set framed by Aaron Bros. Didn't know they couldn't be cleaned with windex and Claudia effed em up good. Had psychedelic smearing ever since. Had to take down the prints while they worked on the building foundation and decided I'd give it a go and 'clean' them. Now they're worse and I'm super frustrated cursing these blasted posters and this entire stupid hobbyrubberneck wrote:Aye, it smears and catches the light stronger than regular glass.

I just pulled the Stouts from their frames and stuck them each to the wall with a knife. Dundee styleBikejoh wrote:Never had any problems with thumbtacks. Just wipe the print with a wet rag
This. I have never found anything that effectively cleans museum glass without streaking. peacedog recommended the TruVue glass cleaner, by I haven't managed to source any yet.RottenAtom wrote:Dirty museum glass. fudge will not come clean for anything...

I talked to him on the phone a couple of hours ago and he recommended it to me too. I made a few calls and haven't found it at any local shops. I found it online, but you have to spend at least $35 to order (it's only $6 something). I'm gonna look around more tonight, if I find anything I'll let you know.alittle wrote:This.

Also- props to Further Frames. They gave me detailed instructions and recommendations of how to go about cleaning this and most of the local shops just told me about the specials they had on new glass.

When I'm done ranting about elite power that rules the planet under a totalitarian government that uses the media to keep people stupid, my throat gets parched. That's why I drink Orange Drink. - BH
