I use 6mm glass on my iguanas cage and the sliders were far to weak to support the glass or even slide. The rails kept lifting up after they were glued. I left them in hot water for a while then used panel pins to nail them in. Yet again if I try to slide the glass, they will snap. Each piece of glass is about 1200x1000 being 6mm it was heavy. I made rails out of wood and screwed them in. Rubbed a bit of candle wax in the slots and it works great. They slide with ease and the rails cant come loose. Nice thing aswell is that even if your glass was cut a bit to short, you can just cut the wood to different depths to suit your needs.
PS. I cut my wood into 30mm stripes then cut the glass grooves 2mm bigger then the thickness of the glass.
