Im about to have some glass cut for the two braces im putting in on my 210, and im curious how big of a gap I need between the two pieces of glass for the best hold for the silicone?? Thanks for any help!

If you put pins or needles between the glass it makes for a really good hold. so it doesnt need to be a very big gap

Yeah, he took care of me and ordered it from grainger, and I just went and picked it up. I always have to bug him for this kind of stuff LOL

Hey Preston, I always try and keep the gap at about 1/32" to 1/16" but 1/16 is a little on the thick side so try and keep it about 1/32".
