Mask for coated glass

A mask to prevent selected areas of a glass substrate from being coated with a transparent coating so as to provide a desired coating shape on said substrate and reduce ghosting along a peripheral edge of said coating, comprising:

• a first section having a configuration which covers a portion of said selected areas of said substrate which is not to be covered and has an outline which closely follows said desired shape of said coating;
• and
• a second section extending beyond said outline of said first section and covering a remaining portion of said selected areas of said substrate which is not to be coated along said peripheral edge of said coating, said second section having an edge portion which precisely corresponds to said desired shape of said coating, wherein said first section is more rigid than said second section and said second section edge portion has a thickness of no greater than 0.030 inches to reduce ghosting of said coating's peripheral edge by said second section and said outline of said first section is spaced from said second member edge portion a sufficient distance to eliminate ghosting of said peripheral edge of said coating by said first section.
