Space balls...

---

next time you run a bead of sillycone to cut up for space balls for those raised panel doors consider using the spline from a window screen...
no muss no fuss and cheaper than a tube of silly cone...
wide range of diameters...
not to mention always ready to go..
won't bleed into the finish..

I like the no mess best and they do work well.

Been doing this for years. I'm too cheap to buy the space balls.

Used window spline on the doors for the wife's library shelving bases.  Tried the SpaceBalls some time back but found their durometer way too hard and they take up too much space in the rail/stile slots.  They might be good if you load your own 00 buckshot, though.  Silicone strips work, too, but you need a fresh tube of it to make them.

 

So, from now on, it'll be window spline.
