: : I am making panes for the nine panes in my front door. They are each 6"x11", so I see no need to reinforce them (Please tell me if I'm wrong!). My problem is, I can't figure out the best way to mount them in place. I was going to caulk, but I understand that's not such a good idea. Any suggestions? This is such a great site and I have learned so much from it. Thanks!
: It's a new door; actually the glass is one large pane with plastic muntins laid over it (no I don't want to remove the muntins as that would involve goofing up the whole window mounting). I thought keeping the original glass would protect the stained glass panels. Would just caulking the sides or just the tops be enough to hold them without sealing too tightly?
: No rebar is probibly needed. What type of door? How is the old glass installed? Can you just remove the old glass and install the stained glass?
