Reinforcement of Door Panel
by Matt
Im also drawing up a new panel, 1170 high 600mm wide (3.8ft x 2 ft) of a couple of birds of paradise with green leaves. It's to be installed into a door inside a house. Due to the size, I am running a lot of restrip throughout. Should I be splitting this panel into 2 slotting one inside the other, or would a rebar solderd across the back of the panel do? Answer As long as you don't have any hinge joints, a couple of rebars will be fine. Door panels tend to "oil can" more than most panels, due to the movement caused by opening and closing or slamming the door. If you have horizontal hinge joints the tongue in groove, plus several rebars would be better. |

You can't imagine how much I wish I had found your incredible website before I spent many hundreds of dollars on lessons, dvd's, tutorials, etc. I can tell that everything I need to know can be found here. All I can say is "Thank You!" Larry
I can't thank you enough for this site. The new search feature is amazing and it makes it so easy to find exactly what I am looking for. Thank you again! Laurie
Your site is fantastic! I took a six week class four years ago and recently started again (after forgetting almost everything I learned!). I have to say that your site is excellent and I can't wait to practice the techniques you've shown. Scarlet
I'm a subscriber to your "Stained Glass Gems" and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your wonderful site! This is by far the best glass site I've run across. I recently purchased your publication on Patina FAQ and it's very helpful for me... I like to have hard copies of info so I added it to my library. Suzanna |
