How to Secure a Glass Tabletop

How to Secure a Glass Tabletop

Glass tabletops can add an attractive design element to coffee and dining tables. If you have concerns about your tabletop shifting with use, you can secure the tabletop. For tabletops that will remain a permanent part of your table, a silicone adhesive may work well. If you want the top to be movable, clear bumper discs may offer security and mobility. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

Silicon Adhesive

    1

    Clean the underside of the glass tabletop and the area of the table where you want to apply the adhesive.

    2

    Load the adhesive into the caulk gun.

    3

    Squeeze a dime size amount of adhesive onto the table at each corner. You can run a bead around the whole table as well.

    4

    Lift the tabletop and carefully place it onto the table. If the table top is heavy, get another person to assist you. Allow the adhesive to dry overnight before moving or placing anything onto the tabletop.

Clear Disc

    5

    Purchase a pack of clear cabinet bumpers.

    6

    Clean the table in each area where you will place a bumper.

    7

    Remove the bumper from the backing and place it onto the table. Apply firm pressure to ensure the bumper is secure.

    8

    Lift the tabletop and carefully place it onto the table. If the table top is heavy, get another person to assist you.
