"I'm not a big fan of acrylic either. I will use it for big pieces that have to be shipped, though. I'll use OP-3 on anything bigger than 30x40 that is going to shipped rather than hand-delivered. O.P-3 acrylite is UV resistant, but not…"

"Thanks David. I am familiar with anti-reflective technology. Due to breakage of glass in shipping and extreme cost of Optium acrylic I am only able to offer non-glare technology to my customers at this time."
David Bjurstrom replied to Mark Rogers's discussion non-glare glass or acrylic
"Use 'anti-reflective' glass. It's coated chemically to reduce refelctions (glare) almost completely and it does not have the pebbly surface that cheap 'non-glare' glass uses. It's spendy but worth it. I use it on my…"
