What are my options on hanging a 1/4 scalloped edge panel? would 40" x 20" be too big?
Because of the scalloped edge I don't want to frame it.
Thanks
Joe

Hanging Glass...
This piece is 46" x 20" and hangs on 2 brass hangers. I think you could even go a bit larger than this, but I'm not sure what the limit is. Glass is quite strong with the force in this direction, it's the surface tension of the glass that is weak, and that's how glue chipping works so well. Also, check out this website for some interesting edge clips and blind hangers.

But as for your piece, you shouldn't have any problems. I always like to drill the holes after scalloping the edge. Give yourself a good inch or so in from the edge.
On this piece, I flocked a board and had it framed. I then mounted the scalloped edged glass, with standoffs to the flocked board. You could use this same technique and mount it directly to the wall using standoffs. You would probably want a standoff in each corner.
