A method of masking glass in an ion exchange bath includes applying a dissolvable sealant to a cover material, adhering the cover material to a glass part to form a mask on the glass part, immersing the glass part into an ion exchange bath. removing the glass part from the ion exchange bath, and using a solvent to dissolve the sealant and the cover material from the glass part. A mask on glass having a piece of glass, and a dissolvable sealant on a cover material, the dissolvable sealant comprising an inorganic material and a silicate, the dissolvable sealant between the cover material and the piece of glass.

The present invention provides a conductive laminate for a touch panel which includes a substrate, and a patterned metal layer which is visually recognized to have greater blackness when viewed from the substrate side; a touch panel; and a transparent conductive laminate. The conductive laminate includes a substrate which has two main surfaces; a patterned plated layer which is disposed on at least one main surface of the substrate and has a functional group that interacts with metal ions; and a patterned metal layer which is disposed on the patterned plated layer, in which the patterned plated layer includes a metal component constituting the patterned metal layer and the ratio of the average peak intensity resulting from the metal component contained in the patterned plated layer to the average peak intensity resulting from the metal component constituting the patterned metal layer is in a range of 0.5 to 0.95.

A thin glass article is provided that has a first face, a second face, one or more edges joining the first and second faces, and a thickness between the first and second faces, where the faces and the one or more edges together form an outer surface of the thin glass article. The thin glass article has an ion-exchanged surface layer on its outer surface. The ion-exchanged surface layer is non-uniform, wherein the non-uniform ion-exchanged surface layer has an associated compressive surface stress which varies between a minimum and a maximum value over the outer surface and/or a depth of layer which varies between a minimum and a maximum value over the outer surface. A method for producing a thin glass article and a use of a thin glass article are also provided.
