Hi Bob, I use alot of stained glass in my sculptures and mount it in different ways. For my large outdoor pieces (you can see them in my web site www.timetosteel.com, I shape 1/2'' flat strap the way I want it, weld 1/8'' rod inside that shape, at the edge, then insert the glass and use silicone to hold it in place. It holds up well, as far as I can tell. The oldest pieces are now several years old and have handled heat, snow and hail well. If the glass gets broken, it is easy to remove the silicon and replace the glass. The smaller pieces I do, I treat like regular stained glass work. I wrap the glass with copper foil tape and solder it in place. Lin
