    Most of this door will be glass which should help...

    Sorry, I know it's a little late, but I would build one that didn't use glue.

    FWIW, the door faces West / NorthWest.

    Sounds like I should drawbore it with glue.

    Looks like I can find Rescorcinol: http://aircraftproducts.wicksaircraf...-kit/cp1131-pt

    Sorry, I don't know where I got it from that it faced South. Maybe I was thinking about a conversation going on in another thread. I may be participating in too many. No drawboring with short tenons-more of a risk than a reward. No reward anyway if you're going to use glue.
