How would you mount the H profile to the wood frame. I used a C-profile screwed to the wood and routed out the area behind each led hole to fit wire and leds. Then Just cut a slit on each side of the routed hole and pushed the led prong into the slit to hold the leds in place.
I would just silicone the H-Channel down to the frame with a very small bead of silicone around the inside of the rabbit. Believe me, silicone will hold this down very securely. And if you ever need to lift the channel up you can. However if IR LEDS need replacing often, then I would recommend a small drop around the rabbit every 4-5 inches...easier to lift but will still hold well. illustrated below…
A better way is to make it easy to work on all the wiring without having to lift up anything and re-silicone. Below the H=Channel is siliconed to an inside wood frame which is then screwed from under into the main screen frame. No visible fasteners anywhere. There are more elaborate ways it depends on your capabilities.
If needed I could provide a highly detailed mock-up of vertical or horizontal table layouts, scaled,accurate for reference if anyone needs some help. A little description would help in design. AutoCad,Sketchup , simple pictorials , almost anyway really.
