That's a pretty disturbing story, and I never would have imagined they would not tell a victim. I understand the argument against it, but the risk of long term mental illness / PTSD from it being suppressed just seems way too high.
Take the door off. Use a knife to score the existing silicone and then pull the glass out. Use a razor blade and knife to clean up the existing silicone. Clean the surfaces well.
Get silicone bathroom caulk from home depot. Put some in the channel, put the glass back, put more along the seam. Use a wet finger to smooth it out.
Tape it in place while it cures and you're done.
I'm kinda surprised a piece with an attached door is just siliconed in place. Is there no retention screw or anything?
Gotta get the Darn Tough socks. No more tossing in the trash, they have a lifetime warranty but they also last forever. After many years I finally just sent like 12 pairs in and got all new ones.
It's not as big a risk as this person is making out. If you're playing with low current microcontroller stuff, there's virtually no risk. At most you're gonna let the magic smoke out of a chip, not start a fire.
If you start getting into stepper motors and things like that, sure, but that's a long ways from where you are today.
Whenever I read about this stuff it seems to be such a paltry sum, like $10k. I don't understand why someone would do it for so little.
If I'm betraying my country, I want at least my own fully staffed super yacht.
