I will never buy glass again. Too much risk. Just don't scratch the acrylic.

My glass ones seem to get etched by the minerals in water, the acrylic not as bad, but I have switched to bottle water. After seeing how the acrylic is made with smooth clean lines not plastic corners caulked together, love it. You do have to make sure that your filters and fixtures fit. Unlike glass, acrylic top isn't completely open. Bought light that fits mine and a big filter system that has hoses going into tank.

I'm not a scientist, but for the aquarium, the acrylic it's made of is great. The tank cleans well, looks beautiful, and there have been no leaks in the years I've had it.

It is more glass-like. I am very pleased with this product. It takes patience to apply correctly.

I believe it is made of Acrylic. Dont know why you would want glass. Glass would break so easily. This thing is almost bullet proof.

Krylon makes several fixatives, one may meet your needs. I just use the matte permanent for my projects. Papilio makes a nice waterproof over-laminate if you want something thicker. Two days seems like a long time to not dry.

I'd say it's an acrylic. Quite substantial. In fact the entire system is very good.

Neither. I really can't compare the material. However, really cleans glass...any type. No streaks.

Acrylic, a form of plastic. However, it is so hard and has a glass like surface it doesn't absorb "Any" food or liquid stains like most all other plastics tend to do! Plus,it's not near as heavy as glass! I "Love" it!!! Will be getting another for the camper!

They are acrylic...I would prefer glass but for around a campfire, I guess acrylic is okay!

Hi Joseph, The EnduroShield for Glass kit really needs an actual glass substrate in order to work how we would expect. While there can be some benefit on an acrylic surface, as the product is not designed for acrylic we would not be able to guarantee how well it would work, nor how long it might last. If you have any other questions feel free to give us a call or send an email, Thanks, The EnduroShield Team

I have acrylic wine glasses. When they become stained with red wine, I soak them in a combination of white vinegar and water. This is much safer than soaking in bleach. It works very well.

I think these beads are acrylic, not glass. (I don't think they are heavy enough to be cut glass. But is a very good looking fixture.

Just based on a quick search, I'm not sure you can find one without the FLD glass, even if it's not directly stated in the title. But the Flourite Low Dispersion (FLD) glass is supposed to be very good quality and reduce chromatic abrasion. So either way I'd say go with the FLD model - go with one that states it in the title just to be safe and be sure that you'll get it.

I used it on different plastics most are safe, some are not. It is not safe on polystyrene including transparent one, I tried. Acrylic was ok, if I remember right.I love this stuff and use it extensively for different cleaning needs, not just adhesive. For example removing shoe rubber scuff marks from walls and car panels.

Because, Brad, clear plastic is cheaper than opaque plastic, which is cheaper than dark glass...which is what all the best (Solgar, New Chapter) wild salmon oils are bottled in. That's why. And they say it's "UV coated," to which we say "lol" because it's not just the UV but the light itself that is the problem with degradation. Glass is the best way to go.

I always wash the acrylic glasses by hand, even if they say they are top rack safe. My guess is the cracking is from the dishwasher. I have never had a problem with cracking, unless one gets washed in the dishwasher, by mistake.

Not acrylic. It says for ultra-hard gloss finish on wood, metal and more. I hope that helps you.

Acrylic, I think. Would not recommend them. They break easily. I have 0 left.
