At one time I thought about using plexiglass for my gum
bichromate printing frames. The person at the supply house
confirmed that most plexiglass is formulated to absorb UV.
However, he also mentioned that there is a UV-T (UV
transmitting) variety of plexiglass that should work well for
our purposes. Unfortunately, I would have had to special
order it, ...and buy a 4 foot by 8 foot sheet. That was way
more material than I needed, and due to the costs involved, I
lost interest. Has anyone had any experience with UV-T
plexiglass?
