Thank you for sharing your skills and talents as a stained glass artist. I need to install a panel into a window high up in a shower stall and was concerned about condensation. This video confirms my original thoughts on how to do it. Because I can't use any type of clip to secure it in place - screwing or nailing into vinyl window would cancel the warranty - this makes me feel more confident in using only silicone.
Thanks for the compliment. There have been several comments to the newsletter of readers who can't believe that caulking is secure enough to hold a window. My response is that once you've installed a panel using caulking and had to go back and remove it, you'll be convinced that it's very secure!
Yeah well it makes sense. Caulk is great and it has helped a lot to get other things done too! I will have to try it when I start making more designs and selling them to folks to have put in their windows
I thought you was going to drop it, I had to hold my breath, that was bit of a cliff hanger, not sure I could had done it, thanks for all your videos, John from Ga

This is old but I'd like to add something anyway. I am installing a panel into an arch window 5 foot across . Where he removed the pieces of cardboard, bottom and top, he should have left those slots open to allow hot air to rise and exit at the top (between panel and outside glass). This reduces condensation and/or hot air from sun to damage panel. I will install trim instead of caulking to allow removal for cleaning.
Good point, I left air gaps so the window could breath. I also applaud you for putting in trim as a finish, this window didn't allow us to easily apply trim. if you go to gsg-art.com you can join our email list and we'll be able to stay in touch.

@@GommStainedGlass David, I do have a question. If the glass is fit snuggly into an interior window, do we run the risk that as the structure of the house creaks and pops with changes in temperature, humidity, etc. that the stained glass will get damaged? I mean they told me that my flooring might swell and shrink a bit as it passes through the seasons. Do I need a certain gap, or tolerance around the edges to allow for some expansion?
@@seansullivan5419 A gap is a great idea. In most of our installations, we look for 1/8" all around because that can be easily filled with caulk or silicon and gives us just the right amount of room for the fit.
@@GommStainedGlass David, at the risk of being a pest, I need to clarify. I can see where an 8th inch clearance can make installation easier, but my window is already installed. I see two hairline cracks that I didn't notice before, and I am considering removing the window and cutting a bit of a trough all around to create some clearance so that any architectural shifting, expansion, or contraction doesn't get transferred to the glass. Is this needful?
We used white caulk on this panel because it needed to fill the gap visually. We do often use clear caulk but we no longer use the stuff that goes on white and then turns clear because it doesn't always turn clear. We've had it work occasionally and not work several times. Thanks for the great observation!

Use great care not to put so much silicone on the window that it oozes out on the other side creating an unsightly mess.😀😀😀

What kind of caulking do you use? Thanks.
that is an awesome piece! I love how it looks! Truly you are an artist!
Thanks so much

We've been installing for years and it works well. We also work with professional installers whor use butyl rubber to install with.
I thought you was going to drop it, I had to hold my breath, that was bit of a cliff hanger, not sure I could had done it, thanks for all your videos, John from Ga
My big concern was rather about if caulking would squeeze out behind the panel.
I love it.Is there a video on how you measured and made this window?

Thanks, the leaves that we sandblasted turned out well.
Did you name the piece?

Hi! Great video. Are you concerned at all about condensation building up between the windows? Or about debris (ie, bugs)?
As I stated in the video, we left some small breathing holes so that air could get through and no condensation was a concern.

very nice window indeed
Thank You
Thank you!
Good install, I had to be careful not to squeeze too much onto the back of the glass
Why on earth would you use the shattered glass app for transitions in your video about installing glass? That was weird, over andover.
😀💖

🙂Thanks, it was a good project 🙂
clear caulk works wonders for seeping to the outside

We do often use clear caulk but we no longer use the stuff that goes on white and then turns clear because it doesn't always turn clear. We've had it work occasionally and not work several times.

We used tan caulk that matched the window frame
OSI Clear silicone is all we use in restaurant construction. Best silly come out there. NSF Clear is also needed
