Plates and substrates
In this section you will find our range of aluminium plate for creating tintypes, and our range of glass sheets for creating ambrotypes.
Whilst it may be possible to ship some of the smaller sizes of glass sheet this would need to be entirely at your own risk, our couriers will not cover any breakages for glass so the risk is down to you. We don't normally offer to cut the glass smaller, though we can sell you a glass cutter, cutting glass is very easy to do once you've practiced a little.
With regards to the aluminium sheet we can cut this to size for you if required for a nominal charge, if you're interested in this service then please use the contact us form in the footer and let us know your requirements.
