Geoff,

As Orton mentioned, we also use TV Conservation Clear on a regular basis for 
this type of work.  Related..........

TV Conservation Clear has been getting a major amount of bad discussion over 
the past 2 months on the PPFA Exchange and the Grumble.  Talking to "key" 
people at Tru-Vue in New York last weekend, they shared some information.  
The problem involved the last coated stage where "debris" was adhering to the 
coating.  They went back-and-fore with the manufacturer of the equipment, and 
appear to finally have the problem corrected.  In the meantime, TV has let 
inventories deliberately fall and is currently shipping good material.

Geoff - I was under the assumption that Tru-Vue used to make a special run of 
Museum Glass for Glass & Mirror in London.  Call John Palmer / John Watson to 
see if they still have this done, or if they have some inventory.

Regards,

John
