Selecting the glass


Choosing a glass piece is very important. But how do we know which is the correct size and width for our painting? Mahua offers the following tips:

  • Ideally, you should use glasses measuring 8 inches by 6 inches, to a maximum of 1 foot by 1 foot, and a thickness of 3 millimetres to 4 millimetres.
  • Avoid very thin or very thick glass. The pressure of your hand may break thin glass, while very thick glass may break due to its own weight.
  • Before using the glass make sure it is free from dust and watermarks, if any. Clean it well with soap and water. Dry with a piece of cloth and place under a fan to remove any water residue.
