Eric, no one seems to have answered this so I'll suggest that odds are
it's not a problem... but cyanotye is so easy, no problem to test. Anyway,
what's "pretty thick"? I use a sheet of quarter inch plate glass as
bottom of the sandwich, AFAIK it's fine.

In any event, could be a very good way to get some info around here. If I
say something and there's another case can possibly be made (or even if
not!) you're gonna hear it!

best,

Judy
