Low-E, Self Cleaning Glass, Hydrophobic vs Hydrophilic, Broken Seals, and Oxidization, etc

There are lots of information out there. If you know a thread that explains one of the following in laymen terms it’d be greatly appreciated if you could post the link to the thread, or explain it below.

  • Low-E Coating
  • Self-Cleaning Glass (I know there was a blog post about this but I’m not sure where)
  • Hydrophic vs. Hydrophilic
  • Broken Seals
  • Oxidization of vinyl, aluminum, and whatever else…
  • Hard Water Stains
  • Fabricated Debris
  • Construction Clean up stuff (I know @Chris said something in a post along time ago about a guy who had a good explanation to customers about removing stuff from glass, but I don’t know where to find it. Chris do you know what I’m talking about?)

There tons of great threads on here that cover everyone one of the topics you have listed above.
Take some time and search the archives it’s all there.
There’s to many good ones its hard to choose one or even a few on each topic each thread has its golden nuggets, good luck on your search.

Aw guys c’mon give him a break… He went through all that effort to write that lengthy post! That’s gotta count for something, right?? :unamused:

Funny thing is, last night i actually started looking for some good threads for him - while on vacation no less - and then, suddenly, it dawned on me: wait… HE has a search button too!

Like Steve said, there’s some great stuff out there. Best of luck in your search!

I did the same thing, it seemed every thread that i found on each topic had some “golden nuggets” and I would have to link 20+ threads on each topic, i figured he is smart enough to ask the question he’s smart enough to research too… right @Frozone :wink:

I was just reading this above quote. Why were you even on the forum on vacation?! What is vacation to you, sipping a pina colada in a cubicle answering emails? Seriously, some people… lol

On a more serious note the problem is the golden nuggets are spread so far and wide that their kind of maybe a little bit rare to come by without ya know spending a stupid amount of time looking for them. I’m looking for factual statements put in simpleton terms. I have found many great things over the years but trying to go back and re-find them seems like a daunting task.

Honestly I don’t even need threads just quotes from threads would be helpful. I was hoping we could work together****strong text to find these treasure troves.

Just think about it guys this isn’t for my benefit. It’s actually for your benefit, because once we find these golden nuggets (I mean you guys when I say “we”) you’ll feel the accomplishment of doing something important.

Do your home work buttercup! :wink:
