Chest of drawers

Ok, thanks Tim.  Never seen that before.  How do they fix in place in a rebate ?

Read wood guy!  He said with friction! Lol [tongue]. So basically if you need to remove the glass you just slam the drawers and your glass will pop out for you lol  [poke]

There is a small 2mm wide x 2-3mm deep kerf on the inside edge of the rabbet parallel with the surface of the glass that the spline is pushed into. It is a friction fit.
I will take a picture when I assemble my doors so you can see a bit better.
The silicone is definitely easier and faster but I just don't like the look and any silicon that gets on any unfinished surfaces makes it real difficult to get a good finish when spraying.
The splines make for a very smooth clean transition from the glass to the frame.

Brett, nice to see you are wrong again  [tongue]

I was joking for one!  2 y am I wrong he said friction fitted so meaning held in tight no?  Now he has explained it in more detail but he didnt before!  I still dont fully understand what its like though cus how im readin it its not fiction it sits behind a slot or something (kerf) lol!  Im waiting for his pictures! 

When will i be seeing these pictures of this friction thingy Raleigh?

That was so wrong in so many ways.  [laughing] [laughing]
 
LOL, thought you would be back.  You see, if you had waited a minute then the man would have had time to explain  [poke]

The way i see it is the glass is held in the plastic strip with friction, i think that much is obvious.  What i wanted to know was how the plastic strip is held into a rebate & Tim kindly explained it is held in with a groove for some type of plastic spline (i presume)  It too is probably a friction fit.  Guess we will have to wait for the pictures.

Ken, trust you to pick up on that  [thumbs up]

This is just for you.
This is a closeup of the last picture, a corner of a cabinet door with glass insert. I have pulled up the corner up the corner of the spline so (hopefully) you can see how it fits into the kerf.

Cheers Tim

I c so it does hook just cus its flexible it can just be bulled off thats wa u mean with friction.    Has your glass have a wooden frame round it?   Cus how I first read it you have a wooden frame with a lip (kerf) which the wedge seal hold the GLASS but in your picture it looks like its holding Glass with a frame fix around it already or something like that.  Unless across the bond your glass comes different to ours. 

Sorry if I am being silly.
