June 13, 20197 yr Hi all I am building a curio cabinet for my daughter and the design has a rabet that the class sits in then a keeper to keep it in place. But i am thinking I should use some felt or silicone or sealant to keep them rattle free and not get broken. What are your thoughts. For a picture think of a wood top with a glass insert. Then 2 glass shelves. Then 2 doors with glass panels. Then 2 side that have glass panels. If i use the felt it may get too thick. I need advise please.
June 13, 20197 yr If it's tempered glass, it's gonna be really heavy. I rehabbed a curio cabinet with a curved glass door and glass side panels. I used that rubber rope that is used to hold screens. It was placed so that glass edges were against it on four sides. It was rattle free. I didn't have room but, it could also be used as a filler in the groove. But, it would be seen. For the un moveable top, I'd think felt would work fine.

It is all double strength glass and not so heavy. I like the felt idea also. I think mounting glass just between a sandwitch of wood is asking for trouble.
