: I bought fiberglass for my triple on 2 separate orders. The first glass I
: bought had a slightly green tint (kind of like bullet proof glass only far
: less noticable. I noticed it when I put it inside my hull next to the
: second batch I bought. The second batch was very clear.

: I pointed this out to Joe and several others at R2K and none of them would
: have even noticed if I hadn't pointed it out.

: I'm writing this to let the rest of you out there know that this glass exists
: and to make sure you order the clear kind.

: I'll definately order from RAKA again, I just now know that there are color
: differences in the glass finishes.

: I sent samples of each and a picture back to RAKA and this was their
: response.
