Hi;

Am a novice here when it comes to wood working. I was trying to build a frame that will go on top of a display piece.

As you could see it in the picture, I have made this frame using the miter joins and then used silicone to glue the glass.

I did tried to use the thin glass (1/8") but still due to the size it is too heavy and I am afraid that the frame won't be able to take the load if I try to lift it.

I am thinking if there is way I could make it stronger, may be by adding support on the backside of the frame?
As a last resort I need to remove the glass and use plexiglass instead.

Experts please advice if I could fix this somehow?
