"My name is Amitavh Bhattacherji and I am speaking on behalf of Expert Village. And I represent my company Abstract Frames and Supplies Private Limited, Calcutta, India. There is no right and wrong side of the glass. Both the sides are equal. The material that it is , if you put your finger you will see that your finger print has come on the glass. So this finger print while cutting is quite possible. So we use glass powder. It's just like ordinary talcum powder we use. Place the glass powder on top of the glass and we rub it with the hand. And this cleans the surface absolutely clean. Then we wipe it with a thin soft cloth and we place the glass on the picture. So once we and we hold it like this on the edges. Its sharp edges so you have be very careful. Once have cleaned one surface we put it on the picture. So that no finger prints as you may see are visible on this side. This has been placed. Then the other side has been cleaned and this is the side that stays outside. So again with glass powder we clean the surface, wipe it with a wet cloth. And once that we have put our picture so that our hands are not coming on this side, so no finger prints that go that side. Put the frame on top of this as I will show you. We place the frame from top. So once the frame is there and its set in the rebate there is no way your finger prints can come. But even if your finger prints do come on the top you have the opportunity to wipe them off. But on the other side, on the picture side, once it is placed on the picture its best not to touch again because you might leave finger prints when it is hanging by light reflection. Thank you."
