Folks,

Need bit of advice. I am making a custom mirror frame to match a vanity
I made earlier in the summer. I have the concept down of building a
pitcure frame to hold the glass with a rabbet from the back but I am looking
for ways to hold the mirror in the rabbet -- first thought is to use
silicone caulk as a glue but I am wondering if I need some sort of
mechanical means to hold the mirror in the rabbet (in addition or instead of
the glue/caulk). Of course the mirror will be hung from the frame .....


Make a double rebate, one for the mirror and one for a 1/4" plywood backing that
can be screwed to the frame.
