Abstract
A method of providing a protective layer for a glass sheet. The protective layer provided by depositing a solution of a polymer and water on a glass sheet at a temperature high enough to provide a layer that is insoluble in water below a temperature of about 20° C. The layer is soluble in water at a temperature above about 60° C., so that the protective layer can be removed by rinsing in hot water.
