Glue wood to glass ?

[Jared Martin]

Hi All,
I'm finishing my first project (will post photos of it once it is done) of a wall mirror. I have a couple vertical and horizontal wood strips (about a 1/4 inche wide) which cover some of the mirror face. Unfortunately the vertical ones are a bit bowed and bow outward from the mirror face. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to use to secure the strips to the face of the mirror so they don't bow outward? Is there a glue out there that dries clear and would be adequate for this use?

Thanks,
Jared

the force of the wood movement may be too strong for the glass if you 'secured' it , IMO.

I'm still learning things, but I thought wood doesn't move much in the direction of the grain (I'm using QS white oak). What if I just tacked it down in a couple places along the vertical pieces? I'm guessing I would need something that dried and stayed a bit flexible for any movement that might occur.

Clear silicone tub sealer would be my choice...I'm assuming the wood is finished before it's applied.

I agree with Lee. Clear silicone sealant will sick well to the wood and very well toteh glass. I've made aquariums sealing glass to glass with silicone adhesive. And rubber feet for wood items with silicone.

Thanks guys...will give silicone a try.
