KISS Backglass

$269.00 USD

New for 2020 !  Brand new (US Improved) master artwork layout, all layers rebuilt from scratch, thus vastly improved over every past attempt at the KISS backglass that has come and gone throughout the years.  Genuine tempered glass (not a translite).  Produced on original-style heavy 3/16″ stock.  Genuine silkscreened mirroring, combined with a flawless multi-layer digital print.

3 Enhancements – 1) The KISS logo dot patterns are now uniform.  2) The line that Paul is standing on has been completed, so it actually looks like he’s standing on the bottom of the glass. Original was messy with very poor film crops there. 3) The lightblock layer on the backside has been updated to improve the lighting thru the KISS logo dots. If you want, now you can blow up that logo with the brightest LEDs you can find !

“AMERICAN VERSION” – meaning “ZZ” style logo, rather than rounded “SS” style logo.

KNOW YOUR PROVENANCE !
This 2020 KISS reproduction backglass run falls under what will be referred to as the “V2” family, under arrangement © 2017 KISS Catalog, Ltd. Under License to Epic Rights.  The way to tell that a KISS reproduction backglass version is in the “V2” family, is that the Epic Rights License legal line will be found on a decal (removable) stuck directly onto the front of the backglass.  This will clear up any future confusion of QC approval and KISS repro glass provenance in the hobby.

REPRODUCTION BACKGLASS CARE and RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Never “triple thick” or apply any additional coatings to the backside of the glass.
  • Alcohol, acetone, and most ‘rattle-can’ liquids must NEVER contact with the ink.
  • If laying a glass down on its backside, always put down a towel or fabric to lay on.
  • The glass stock is tempered – so avoid significant hot-cold temperature shifts.
  • Be cautious of any impacts to the edges, such as setting the glass down on a concrete floor.
  • Never allow ‘sitting’ moisture on the backside.  After 5-7 minutes there is a risk of ink degradation.
  • Do not spray cleaner directly onto the backside as prolonged contact with liquids may damage your glass.
  • If you must clean the backside (bulb dirt, etc.) wipe with a pre-dampened cloth (water or Windex).
  • After wiping, make sure the liquid is dried off (wipe all the way to dry).  Do not allow any moisture to sit.
  • Glass cleaner sprayed directly on the fronts is fine.
  • Don’t let cleaner sit between the channels and your glass.
