<x-charset iso-8859-1>In addition to what John said earlier, I'll add this. If you plan well enough ahead to know where you will be adding another section to the first. Add another piece of glass to the first while wet, so that the other end will mate into the add-on pieces. You end up with a single piece of glass in both sections, making it much stronger. But it does take more pre-planning. Since the first section will be made flat, suspend the transition glass from rafters with clothes pins to keep it out of the resin. Hit the thrift stores for plastic containers to use as mold patterns. Lay the glass right over the container, and glass it in if need be, or cut and peel the plastic out later. If you do it on the back side, you can leave it in, providing additional strength too. Make a transfer pattern for the holes in the door frame from cardboard or something stiff, and drill out the glass door panel from that pattern to assure the holes are aligned perfectly. Do yourself a favor, and wear a proper respirator, or work outdoors with a slight breeze, blowing away from your face. If you can smell it, it's harming you.
