actually when you using framing standard plexi it is more expensive than glass. you can get glass very cheap from places like hardware stores that use glass for windows and such. this stuff is not great, it tends to have bubbles and it is very green. plexi is not as bad as it seems. it is all in how you work with it, i used to hate the stuff myself. there are very east ways to get rid of the static charge. first use must use a soft rag, like the kind photographers use to clean their negatives, then use a mild dish soap and warm water. this is one of the easiest ways to clean plexi. you can also use different clean specifically made for plexi, small bottles can cost a few dollars.
a cleaner that works for both plexi and glass is the common rubbing alcohol, pharmacy stuff 70% alcohol. it is much better than any window cleaner that you will find. they leave streaks, this should not if it is sprayed on. dries very quick, fun smell and is great at getting grim off as well.if anyone is looking for a good framer, pretty good prices, in SE DC there is a frame shop called Newman Gallery and Custom Frames the address is 507 8th St SE DC, her phone is 202.544.7577. one thing most frame shops work with a two week turn around time, but if you are a bit flexible you can get things quicker. tell them in the beginning what time frame you are looking at and they will tell you what they can do. If you need to do this you will need to talk to frame shops within the next couple of daysto get it by this Sunday, remember the internet is not going to be there if mistakes are made.
