Terry...thanks for this...I discussed the old window frames that we had down the basement but Bill said it is cheaper to buy them at the store because the guys will cut from their scraps whatever size I have. What is more expensive is the smoothing around the glass itself...we will go one of these days when the weather go OK...at the moment, it is freaking cold out there today...

I like plexiglass to shoot on. You won’t get those double reflections with that. It does have its own issues though. It’s expensive, scratches easily, and is a dust magnet.

But I also like a much cheaper alternative. You can go up to your local hobby/whatever shop where they sell picture frame glass. It’s cheap and you can get it in a lot of sizes. The local big-box hardware stores here sell it too and will cut it for whatever size you want. Shoot a coat of black (insert color of your choice) spray paint on one side. This will help with the double reflections. If you want to change colors all you have to do is scrape off the paint with a razor blade and hit it again. If the paint side gets scratched just touch it up and you’re good to go!

It’s a great alternative for wet work, too! I built my bigger "wet table" out of it.
