I'm going to make some glass kitchen upper cabinet doors.
I intend to continue a design element theme that are on other cabinet doors in the house as such : Cabinet doors#4.JPG
The maple strips are 3/8" wide and I plan to glue them to the glass door panels. What kind of glue should I use ? I am impressed by construction adhesive as nothing I have ever glued with it, including trim, has failed, but I have never tried it on glass and I'm concerned about squeeze out. I wonder about contact cement.
Another issue is that, when I open the door, the adhered surface would be visible from the back so a clear adhesive, if available, would be preferable. To help mitigate that, I could also glue wood strips on the back to help hide the joint however, with glass, you can often see behind an overlay from an angle.
A clear adhesive would be best but, of course, I want to use what will hold well. I'm not opposed to mechanical fasteners if there is any good way of using them.
Any suggestions or advice ?
Thank you,
