installing glass
Hi,
About 15 or so years ago I made a cabinet for a friend. The glass was broken when moving to another house. I took it home to repair it today and when taking the broken glass out it looked as if I had used some kind of sealer between the glass and frame. I don't remember doing this but it's been a long time and memory fails me. Any one have an idea what is used for this? Thanks for any input...Mac |

Or maybe you didn't want the glass to rattle. |

Hi Mac,
Probably silicone. I just made a pair of oak doors with glass "panels" for a kitchen cabinet. I hate it when glass rattles in the door, so I ran a thin bead of silicone around the edge of the glass. Then I covered that with some stained oak strips so that it looks nicely finished when the door is open. Lou In article , Mac wrote: Hi, About 15 or so years ago I made a cabinet for a friend.
