Title: Glass - How do you clean and avoid fingerprints when installing?
Post by: javeryh on August 16, 2006, 06:44:12 pm: I have two pieces of glass to install in my cocktail cab - any ideas on how to keep them clean and free of fingerprints for installation? I have to windex both sides of both pieces but I can't avoid fingerprints when I flip it over.

Any thoughts?

THANKS!!

Wear gloves!
Cotton gloves. You can pick these up for a few cents at any hardware store. They are made for exactly this kind of work.

Razors work alot better, quicker, too. Plus you get that cool Kevin Spacey in "Se7en" effect going.
