I need some pointers on the proper, or best way to install the glass using the glass setting tape. Is it placed in the channel first and the glass slid in ? Does the tape get cut in the corners to lay flat ? The tape also appears to have more of a rubber feel on one side. It does not seem like it will slide together very easy.
I would appreciate any help, or experience anyone can pass on.
Thanks, Jim

Cut the corners in a vee to lie flat.

Use gasoline to loosen old tape to remove glass. Gotta love that old technolgy!!Brian | | |
