Where to buy thin glass for dry plates in Europe?

[lungovw]

I have done dry plates using glasses intended for picture frames and they have about 2 mm. But some folding cameras, like KW Patent Etui, or Gaumont Block-Notes, Voigtlander Bergheil or Zeiss Ikon Ideal, all of those use a glass thickness between 1 to 1 1/2 mm maximum. Does anybody know a source of such glasses within Europe?

Do you have "Dollar Stores" where you are? In North America they are everywhere, and they all see these cheap picture frames that have 1mm thick REAL glass in them. Its what I use.

Thanks jockel123, the funny thing is that I was about to order paper from Fotoimpex but I didn't know that they offer also glasses. I live in Brazil but once or twice a year a go to Europe and I take the opportunity to save on shipping costs. UPDATE: I checked Fotoimpex and their glass is 2 mm thick it will not fit in the plate holders I have. The search continues.

You can ask stores that sell dry plates. Usually, I would ask the shop owner.

I checked that once and never found those Chinese frames over here. I think that the frames sold in Brazil are locally produced and unfortunately with 2 mm thick glass.
