this is the reply i got:




Not sure where that idea came from but it is almost impossible due to the way we build for strength

We use spacer to form a 1/16 gap between the glass contract to give the silicone the strongest bond, but due to this when the silicone cures it traps the moisture in the seams and that can cause bubbles to form


The only way to not have bubble is to remove more silicone between the seams so less moisture is release but you get a weaker seam
