adjustabail (?)

Post by Bonnie Rubinstein »

Hi All,
I am looking at the adjustabail system to hang larger glass panels (about 15 lbs.) I usually use large metal standoffs. (Visually not desirable and complicated for clients). How does the adjustsbail compare to Hang Your Glass systems, and would this be reliable on the back side of fused glass, which is not smooth?
thx!

Haven't used them, but you might check out the website (this is a UK company): https://adjustabail.co.uk/

There are also a few Facebook comments.

Yep, I had done the research , but did not find anyone using them for larger panels. Would appreciate knowing if they work for them!

I have a several pieces mounted using the Hang Your Glass. They've been there for a few years. They weigh about 5 lbs each. Three of them are mounted outdoors (house numbers).

They all use the smaller size mounts (three or four for each one). The larger size hold more weight. The company website and adverts should give the weight ranges.

The back surface where mine are glued has the texture from the kilnwashed shelf.

It appears the glue (a version of epoxy?) is very strong and stable...so far.

Hi Jim,

I am looking at Hang Your Glass grips now. I have several that I have never used, and will use one as a tester. The adhesive is from about 2018, never opened, but I understand the adhesive expires, so will need to get more of that. I think their adhesive is the only one they recommend. Any thoughts?

Thanks!
