"Another option of glazing is acrylic. There is different kinds of acrylic, there is clear, there is convection of clear, there is non glare, there is convection not glare. This happens to be a piece of conservation clear. So when they made this piece they put the UV properties in it to reflect the UV lights. It is like the regular clear glass. It really gives you a crisp solid picture of what you are doing. The good thing about the acrylic is that is more flexible. If you drop it, it is not going to break. If your picture falls of the wall it may shatter but it is not going to hurt your picture like in most cases. It is not going to hurt your matte. Your frame is going to be more damaged then that. This particular product comes with film on both sides you have to peel it off. The way that we know the difference is they are tagged to tell us what they are. Each pieces is tagged in there own right. I know that that is conservation clear cause I cut it off this piece and that is what it told me it was."
