Hey guys,
So time has come to pull out one panel of the glass between my 2 rooms (there's a name for this right) and clean all the fog off… The previous owners half-arsed it a bit so looking for some tips to do it a little better.
A few questions:
Is the best way to lift it out (it's about the size of a standard door) with some of those suction handles? Anyone know where I can hire them in syd?
What is the most ideal moisture absorber to use in the cavity? And where to get it?
How should I seal it? Previous guys have used silicon - which hasn't held well - with some quarter round holding the glass in. Thinking that I don't need to use silicon if I can get a firm grip with the quarter round...
Cheers,
Tim

Re: Studio glass tips
Tim..Shouldn't be too hard if you have a helping hand there. BUt, certainly..If not sure, call a pro.
In regards to the moisture absorption.. I used silica beads before with no fogging up for a few years I was there, what so ever.
I was lucky enough to find them in larger bags at a factory my friend worked at, rather than buying them or collecting tiny bags out of shoe boxes .

Not too expensive anyway.
To seal it, use the glazing mastic or high quality silicon like "Maxisila" or similar.
