Very thin plate glass

I am looking to source 1mm(approx) thickness plate glass which we need in our laboratory in order to cast electrophoresis. The glass must therefore be able to sustain moderate temperature increase and voltage of up to 150V. Does anyone know of a source of such glass - the manufacturers of the equipment no longer sell it, and so far enquiries with glaziers have drawn a blank due to the thin-ness! I would prefer a supplier in the UK, although others would be considered, provided it can be shipped safely and relatively cheaply! Many thanks

Is this REALLY considered Green?

Wouldn't a waterbased or non or low VOC product be "Green"? So it's free of ISO, many products are and the only concern is some ISO that could be floating in the air during the spray process. Alll of which can be cured by using proper mechanical means to vent.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Glasskote full of solvent? I may be wrong, someone help me out here.
