I assume a similar wood clamp configuration would replace a table-mounted vice. Whatever method, the rubber should be well lubricated and all pressure should be distributed evenly over the edge of the glass. As for trimming *back there* you should be able to position the rubber so that (at least at that point) trimming is unnecessary as you squeeze the glass/rubber into place. Any other ideas anyone? -Jim Bryant
