Jeff wrote concering a mostly glass box.

Jeff - why not make it all glass.  Glass abrdes beautifully with the blue
sandpaper, and clear silicone will stick it together so it won't come
apart - will even stick it to a wood bottom.

You could abrade a mitre, or polish the edges and do a butt joint.  Run a
piece of high grade masking tape along each joint about 1/32" back from
the actual joint - that would be 4 pieces, 2 inside and 2 outside.  Apply
a generous bead of caulk, squeeze the pieces together in a jig, wet your
little finger, then drag it across each side of the joint - inside and
outside.  Do this a couple of times, but do it quickly before the caulk
skins over.  Pull the tape, and Voila!

Then move on to the next joint.  If you get good at it, you could do 2
joints at a time.  The tape and wipe technique is a caulker's trick and
works against brick, wood, metal, on cars, houses, and boats.  If you get
good at it and are using the right kind of caulk, you don't need the tape
- say a window frame against the  trim - which we all have probably done.
