To do it right, use metal. If this is a beater mobile and you have
no plns of ever restoring or are just trying to fix it to keep from
falling thru the floor and want a quickie job, use the glass. You
can never go wrong with the metal but it is a lot more work to do
properly. Good luck. Les Alderman
