Help with attaching/securing smoked glass to cabinet
sofakng:
From what I've read 1/4" isn't too thick. It might be if your glass is tinted really dark but mine isn't that dark that all.
I paid $55 for the piece. (26 x 29 x 1/4", smoked and tempered) That seems to be about the average for a piece like this...
I'm still looking for a way to secure it though :)
big_garryb:
ive got 2 methods which aint the prettyist - but seem to do the job.
1. marquee retainer - used this before and holds pretty well - it is also flexible enough to remove the glass - needs care when removing tho.
2. small beadings like what people put around wooden floor at the skirtings to give a nice edge. its triangular. ive seen this down each side of my mates cab and looked ok - to be honest i dont even see it anymore - too busy gaming.

Also check this thread from about a month ago.

Anybody come up with any new ideas?
What I'm thinking is that my smoked glass will sit right on top of my bezel (which is recessed just a tad). The glass comes to nearly the bottom of the control panel so I thought I'd mount a piece of wood width-wise across the cabinet with another strip on top to stop the glass from sliding.
However, how could I stop the glass from falling out forward? My speaker shelf doesn't have a groove or gap for the glass and it'd be really, really tough to make one now.
My father suggested using some sort of molding right in front of the glass which would hold the glass against the bezel and prevent it from slipping.
Any other suggestions? I'd prefer not to use Velcro (messy) and I don't want to use screws into the glass (dangerous)...
Please help... =)
Sylentwulf:
Look at it logically, how is it going to be possible for the glass to fall forward? Short of someone sticking a suction cup on the front of it and pulling, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
I say go with what you listed on the bottom, see if it works, see if there's ANY way the glass would ever fall, if not, don't worry about it.
