The glue was definitely in good condition, and it was an unopened bottle before using it on the manta ray, but at least 2 weeks old on the panels. Must acquire silane. Will try sanding next time. Love the kiln carving idea to inset the cleat a bit. I did clean multiple times with alcohol and acetone...

Good news: Nothing broke!! Bad news: The adhesive didn't cure. Cleaned the glass with the BE cleaner, alcohol and acetone. Just to be sure it was clean. :) Each cleat was "cured" 2 minutes initially with a black light blue bulb and then 1 minute in sunshine. They were acrylic cleats - I do...

Because of my recent installation, I thought it would be a great idea to have a web page dedicated to information about how to display your glass. I hope to be able to share links, information, and resources to help others choose the method that fits their needs. Or at least point them in the right ...

So, I got the cleats and the Loctite Impruv 349. Not a very successful venture. The first one I did worked like a champ and the others not so much. I'm in contact with Loctite to see what other options there are.

Fortunately, no glass was broken.

Thank you. There's so much to learn. And so many variables in this kind of stuff, which is why I'm finding it hard to get it all in my brain.

Great - this is what I was wanting to hear - not just "design around the display." I'm only 3 years in to glass and I have not created any wall pieces larger than 12x12 before. I've been searching on different ways to display it and would prefer to use HYG standoffs because they are so per...

Not to sound rude, but why should I design around a display mechanism? I am sure there are many alternatives and I am hoping to learn about them.

Bert,

They were my first choice. I love Hang Your Glass standoffs, but the cost is so prohibitive, over $700 for the recommended standoffs alone, I was looking for a less expensive alternative.

So, I haven't really anything that addresses the size of the cleat in regard to the size/weight of the glass (been searching... a lot). Any recommendations? My glass will be 22x20, at least 8mm thick with some "pebbles" tack fused on it. Small scale version: http://elemental.name/?p=985 Pl...
