Glass-silicone-glass bonding (tension vs shear strength?)

[QUOTE="theicecreamda, post: 3855264, member: 407691"] I'm attempting to repair a glass aquarium. Here is a drawing I made when I ordered it originally, [ATTACH=full]151471[/ATTACH] the top brace has developed 2 small cracks. [ATTACH=full]151472[/ATTACH] So I'd like to empty the tank, then remove the old brace, and replace it. But I'm trying to figure out what dimensions I need the new piece to be. Can it be cut to match the outer dimensions of the vertical sides, and sit on top? [ATTACH=full]151473[/ATTACH] Or does it need to sit inside, flush with the top edge of the vertical sides? [ATTACH=full]151474[/ATTACH] The first style would be a lot easier to do in this situation, but as it sits, the brace is in the second spot. Why can't I find anything about the differences between shear and tensile strength of this joint? Does it even matter? I can see that the vertical edges are experiencing both of these loads. edit: I found this [PLAIN]http://www.mgchemicals.com/products/108.html[/PLAIN] Cured Properties - MECHANICAL Hardness 30 (Shore A) Tensile Strength 28 kg/cm2 (400 psi) Elongation 450% Tear Strength 8 kg/cm (45 lb/in) Peel Strength 7 kg/cm (40 lb/in) [/QUOTE]
