JBM Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hey guy's I am making glass panel doors that are made using CMT rail and stile coping bits for glass panel doors. My question is how much gap would you suggest around the glass. It will be held in place using sommerfeld slotted glass retainer. I was thinking about 3/32 on each side. The rails & stiles are 2-7/16 wide, so I figure the wood movement will be minimal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwacker Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Glass doesn't move. I had to go look at what Somerfeld glass retainer was. Its just standard bulk glass retainer. You just need a hair extra to allow or uneven glass cuts don't worry about expansion and contraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
