Check for the tin side of window glass (float glass) with a drop of water
A client visited us last month and we were discussing painting on float glass. Peter mentioned that it was possible to check for the tin side of float glass with a drop of water. It’s true! You don’t have to use a UV lamp.
Float glass (normal window glass) is made by floating the glass on top of a molten tin bath.

Best to check the glass before painting and plan accordingly.
