Handling

     
  • Glass should be handled with care.  To avoid injury cotton gloves should be worn.  
  • Avoid dragging the lites of glass against one another when removing from the box.  
  • Do not slide the lite of glass into place. Lift it up to adjust reposition.

 

Cutting

     
  • Place a slip sheet or a non-slip matboard between the glass and the back of the wall cutter.  
  • Do not score the UV coated side. The inkjet printing stating "opposite side faces artwork, score opposite side" is printed on the UV coated side.  
  • Place the lite of glass in the wall unit with UV coated side toward the wall, facing the slip sheet or matboard.  
  • Keep the glass cutter clean of glass chips by brushing away fragments frequently with a horse hair brush.

 

Cleaning

All of Tru Vue glass products are clean and ready to use. If spot cleaning is needed use the following techniques:

     
  • Place the glass on a clean, non-abrasive surface for cleaning.  
  • Use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the glass. Tru Vue recommends using a micro-fiber cloth.  
  • Spray a small amount of ammonia-free cleaner onto the cloth. Spraying on the cloth will prevent overspray.  
  • Press the cloth against the glass and clean in round, circular motions.
