Can I use this on glass products like for example a glass desk so that my monitor arm wont crack my desk for grip and non scratch purposes

I put the pads on the bottom of my phone or anything I have on the desk that way they do not slip. I would think it would work the same if your desk is glass. The pads work very well.

Most electronics manufacturers advise against standard glass cleaners. Also, paper towels and napkins can scratch your glass -- they are made from pulpwood, after all.The two approved methods I know of are: 1. Lens cleaning spray or wipes (usually containing isopropyl alcohol) 2. solution of equal parts distilled water and white vinegarIn either case, be sure to dry the glass thoroughly with a soft cloth (cotton or microfiber) to avoid streaks.

I'm not sure it would be very safe to do that if it's mounted just to 1/4" thick glass. If it was 5/8" or thicker it might work. There is a lot of force on the mounting area (the mount and monitors weight, plus the cantilever force from leverage). If you do mount it I would at a minimum put some kind of wood piece on the bottom to spread out the weight across a bigger area. Maybe a 6 inch wide piece of wood which is at least 1/2" thick, and runs out about 1 foot on each side? That might help and and not look too bad (you could paint it or something). The other problem is that glass doesn't do well when it is clamped hard. This thing gets tightened pretty tight and it may crack the glass.

I am sure you could, but I don't think it will be strong enough and will eventually come off. I would get a product that was silicone based and takes glass. This is great for wood, plastic on wood but glass on glass, I will not recommend it. But I will say, this is still a very good product for many many uses.

the advice is......no. since clamping will require pressure to remain stable, it is very likely that that glass will break. i'm the proud owner of one and i must say it is serving its purpose......and me quite well. i would recommend that you use a wooden desk or platform instead. should you continue with your current configuration, you may risk damaging your desk and monitors!

Yes. I've got mine on a glass desk. It works great, but will show marks from the oils of your skin. That said, it's easy to clean.

The scratch remover works great and the polish does too. But it's designed for acrylic. So I don't know if will work on regular plastic. It might work but if it doesn't the fine sand will ruin you glasses. I would try to find out if your glasses are made of acrylic or plastic. You might try calling the company to see if it will work on plastic licenses before you try it.

I use mine on the computer desk made of tempered glass. That being said I had a piece of plywood cut and placed where the clamp would go and it works great. I know that's not exactly what you asked but it's how I've circumvented that problem. By the way I have a heavy 27 inch touch screen monitor and this device holds it like a champ with no drilling at all.

The clamp mount is extremely strong, but the entire weight of all three monitors is being pushed down on the singular stem. If you plan to push the mount next to wall and clamp it on your glass desk it might possibly work but just note that the glass desk needs to be atleast quarter of an inch to half an inch thick as the mount once full loaded is extremely top heavy and if not supported could buckle/break the end of your desk.

I used the plastic to make "glass slippers" and I did not notice any issues with scratching, but I did not use it with other card stock. So I am not sure if will with stand rubbing against something else. I did have one sample laying on my desk for a few weeks and didn't notice any scratching and let me tell you it got moved around and stuff piled on top of it.

There is some padding provided for the clamping base, so likely it would work with a glass desk.

It does not work well on a glass top table. I had to use paper as a mouse pad when working on a glass top.

I guess you could but i think it is designed to attach to the terrium glass. It has self stick stuff on it that you peel back and press onto glass

Never tried using it on glass, but I expect you'd need to do what usually keeps glass from shattering: get it warm very gradually so it's not brought from cold to hot all at once. I don't think I'd use it on glass that was not quite warm to the touch already.

I just took a look at one of those desks and have to say that the answer is NO.You are asking for trouble as the only way to mount it would be with the clamp coming into contact with the glass somehow.You might be better off getting the wall mount version of this mount if that would work for you?LX Wall Mount LCD Arm

I was just looking at this in a retail store today. The packaging says it can be be used on glass tops. I was surprised to see that, but glad. I would just avoid scooting it on the glass.

I've used it mostly to work/polish glass and it works great for this medium. Sorry can't be of more help.
