Thumbs up Door finishers

If you have decided to use silicone sealant, to stick your door finishers to your doors,then only use a high modulus silicone. There are three types, low modulus, mid modulus, and high modulus. Modulus refers to the shear quality of the silicone, if you stick two pieces of glass together, edge to edge and wait untill the silicone cures,? this usually takes 24-48 hours. If you use low modulus you will be able to pull the glass apart easilly, mid modulus will be more difficult,high modulus will be extremely difficult, if not impossible. If you want to certain that they will not come off, use aquarium silicone sealant. I have seen some truly enormous aquariums holding tens of thousands of gallons of water, think of the pressure on those pieces of glass and they are only held together by slicone sealant. I hope this helps. cheers Bill
