Hello,

I have yet to complete and hang my stain glass mirror. It is a 20X40 mirror with 4 inches all around stain glass that I designed. Makes a rectangular shape. One of my concerns is that the mirror seats into an H chanel all around, I mean 4 H chanels. I'm affraid that the weight of the mirror is to much for the bottom H chanel. Also it is hard to handle, very flimsy because of the small H chanel gap. We were thinking of soldering the H chanels all around the mirror and to apply(glue) a ply-wood of some sort to cover 3/4 of the whole thing so that it would make it more secure. Do you have better suggestions?? and how would I hang it? I think it would have to seat on hooks dont you?
