Hi Shuganne,
Thanks for asking a good questions! No the vent did not get covered as the images clearly show the vent is still very open at the bottom open shelf. Covering a vent can cause molding etc. The glue that I used was not ordinary super glue. It was a gel base permanent glue that can hold up to even a dish washer, washing machine as well as dryer. It is very competitive to E6000 and once it sets it’s there to stay and that takes 24 hours.
I don't know if you were just trying to plug in a product that you sell or your own video at my expese hower...the pins you are referring to are flexible and would not hold up for active use. it is simply for pictures and lightweight projects. Also for this particular project. I was going for the cleaner invisible look. Also it would not have been any space to insert them, I would have had to use glue to adhere the glass to them. Also I used the advice of a cabinet maker and they suggested glue and this was no ordinary super glue. If I had made the doors from scratch I would have put glass in between the wood. But I did it this way because I was just embellishing the doors.
The cabinets are doing amazing and I have no fear of the glass breaking at all. My glass doors are not every day use it for storing my most cherished pieces. But even if I wanted to use it to store DVD's or food etc. the glass doors are soft closing and the glue will definitely hold forever.
Those pins are very interesting perhaps I can order them if I decide to make my own picture frame.
Thanks so much for asking and commenting
