How would you finish the inside of the dado to prevent the particle board
from crumbling, and make it look right?

My medicine cabinet has glass shelves, but it is made from wood and it is
painted. I suppose if the color was a problem or you were really worried
about the structural integrity of the slot, you might make the dado a bit
wider and then inlay a strip of plastic.

Another alternative that might work would be to get some 1/4 Plexiglas rod,
and run two of these as supports under the glass shelves.

You could also use metal. Buy a 6 inch length of 1/4" stainless steel rod,
and cut it into 3/4 long pins. Chuck the pins into your drill press and
dress and polish one end of each pin. Dowel pins would work (and are cheap)
but would eventually rust.

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then
they come up with this striped stuff.
