Continuing on with the ATO build. Here is the corner I shelled.
And the inside bead of silicone holding the panes together.
I was thinking how to get a nice fillet bead of silicone on the inside of the ATO without getting my fingers all sticky and silicone everywhere.
Then I remembered a tool glass makers use for just such the trick. Off to Home De Pot, but couldn't find one. Saw a vinyl siding colour swatch (which was free), took it home and made this.
Simply cut it in half and then nicked a nice 45* corner off of one.
Applied a generous amount of silicone and
slid my custom tool from bottom to top with lots of pressure and... VOILA!
Let it cure for 48 hours and then began to trim the excess on the outside.
DISCLAIMER: Please do NOT eat the razor blade.
I was pretty happy that it held together! Sophie could care less.
Siliconed the top on tonight, probably trim it up tomorrow.
Thanks for looking.
