have any of you heard about or have you tried any of the protective liquid for glasses while they are stored?

no...but i'm interested to hear what it 'protects' against (assuming it's protection against scratches?)...and how you remove it.

Why would this be of ANY importance to a stained glass artist?

Read previous threads about stain on glass causing problems and white surface damage on glass. Or do you buy your stained glass in small quantities or always store it at room temperature (never in garage or unheated workshop)?

Mike...does this really matter? tell me why because i had plans to store all my 'extra' glass in an 'outbuilding' that's not heated...why shouldn't i do this?

and if lack of heating affects glass badly, coule that be why i have the staining problem with my window glass?? arlene

hi.. well, i can tell you without a doubt that there's absolutely NO pollution where i live. we have the world's second highest oxygen levels ... no industry here for a zillion miles...this village is a 'high mountain plateau' in a beautiful part of the easternMed region.

so that can't be what it is...

i still think it might be a combo of lime in the water and strong sunlight.

we can't remove it whatever it is!!

Well...if it's lime then there's your answer.

Lime can be removed with weak Hydrochloric acid, mix table salt with white vinegar and try that, should remove all the residue, may have to dip or soak it in there depending on how much is on the glass. Can't hurt to try.

The problem arises with anything stored outdoors in that if it is cooler than the air (as after being out overnight) and below the dewpoint of later air (as when the morning air is warmed and moving humidity around) the mosture in the air will condense out. Normally, it evaporates off later, but under special conditions the water may collect someplace where is away from drying conditions - like between sheets of glass or in spaces between lid and body of annealer - or on materials that chemically react - rust - before it evaporates.

But actually the comment was made because the previous comment ignored the purpose of the whole thread.
