Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

In building my own window. I have sandwiched a piece of polycarbonate between two pieces of 1/8" plywood. Oak on the inside and birch on the outside.



Rather than try to screw the sandwich together, I'd like to drill completely through it and fasten it with some sort of fastener that looks nice on BOTH sides of the "sandwich".

Does anyone have an idea of what sort of fastener I should look for, other than the regular machine screw and nut or cap nut? I want something decorative on both the inside and outside. AND, something that would be relatively easy to remove if (gods forbid) I ever needed to remove the glass for repair.

...first thought is to use a SS machine(?) bolt and a SS trim washer on the outside and back it with another trim washer and an acorn nut on the inside...an alternative would be same system with a rosette(think mobil home cieling) instead of the trim washer, especially for the inside...just a first thought.....

I put mine on with just the ol fashion way with a Rubber Seal...

another gentleman that maybe able to assist is Rob48 he,s also got some fancy windows in his...mighty fine build.. he may chime in yet as well.

Im also watching with interest as to how you end up completing yours..

Dont know if its the best way but it was my way..

Chicago Screw. Use then all the time in my shoulder holsters (D.ink Slinger is a western action shooter) One word to the wise...a small drop of loc-tite on each before assembly will keep them from working loose.

THANKS JIM!! That is PRECISELY the type of thing I was hoping to find. Glad I asked here!
