  • Granite counter tops also rest on a sturdy base, the caulk used to attach them doesn’t have to resist a lot of force trying to push the slab around, the caulk is mostly there to prevent liquids spilling into the cabinets and to provide a decent appearance. Yes, the caulk also somewhat attaches the slab, but keep in mind how hard it is to move to begin with, given the weight of the counter top.

    Here, the weight of the glass door pulls the panel out of the rails via the hinges. Silicone won’t provide a lasting solution.


  • I can only confirm what ballskicker and Shadow said - I’d remove the old caulk both mechanically and with the help of a solvent and then caulk it back in.

    However, I’m also pretty sure it will eventually sag again without the help of a retaining mechanism.

    Given the pictures you posted (which might not provide the full context), I assume someone really just caulked a glass panel into the profiles and left it at that. I assume you would like to avoid drilling the glass (can be done, but is tricky and has the potential to create a mess pretty quickly), so I’d simply manufacture a retaining cap that closes off the profile and holds the glass panel in place. I’d drill a hole into the ceiling to hold the cap in place, or into the profile, depending on the material and the remaining situation at hand.

    I’m talking about mounting that right here, after sliding the glass back in / caulking, of couse:










  • Why would there be a dedicated tag for Ecchi? Once people start doing that, you are down the road to meaningless, one-time use hash tags that offer no value and actually decrease people’s ability to filter for topics.

    I get that there should be an option to filter out sexual and violent content independently of each other, but those filters should be very broad categories and not serve as organizational mechanism for the individual preferences of users.

    Also, if you introduce a rating system, who will handle the additional moderation load, checking out in which category each particular content instance falls. I don’t see it.
