Question about positioning UV protective glass during framing. . . (Thu Jul 4 06:02:25 2002 )

I'm framing one of the gorgeous Monster Farm 
douga I got from Animebox. I picked the frame 
today and got the archival glass, but. . .

Is there any reason the glass *shouldn't* be 
directly against the douga paper? o_0;  This 
wasn't an issue with my two framed cels, which 
are matted and never come in contact with the 
glass. But the way I was going to frame the douga 
would put glass and paper in direct contact. I 
thought I remembered once hearing that the UV 
protection wasn't as effective if the glass was 
directly against the framed piece. Now I can't 
find any information yay-ing or nay-ing that idea.

Does anyone know either way? Obviously the 
special glass isn't as critical for a sketch as 
it would be for a cel, but the sketch is going to 
be hung in a "riskier" lighting situation than I 
would like. So I want to get as much protection 
as the glass will afford.

In case people are curious. . . The douga in 
question is below. *^_^*  It's actually not my 
favorite of the three, but was the most damaged - 
in a way my thinking is that it isn't as much of 
a loss if it does get further damaged. . . ^_^;;

Many Sharp Smiles,
