Facemounting to tempered glass?

(1/2) > >>

disneytoy:
I have a customer who wants a 25x60 print. Usually done with an acrylic coat. But this is for a table top. I was thinking how well would a face mounted glossy print be on tempered glass?

It may be the same as Plexi, but maybe not.

Thanks

Max

not sure about tempered, but I face mount to ArtGlass all the time without any issues. I don’t believe being tempered would affect it.

Ernst Dinkla:
Diasec face mounting has also been done to tempered glass by a German or Swiss company. One of the few fade resistance documents on Diasec mounting mentions that method.

More often epoxy or acrylic resins are poured (and then polymerised) on mounted prints, the structural part being plywood, MDF, etc.

although the glass can stand hot things being put on it, like plates of food etc, wonder what would happen to the adhesive and print as the heat is transmitted through the glass

That's a very good point. I would also question what effect the heat would have on the pigments in the print.
