Re-purposing Drapery Rod
I have 2 – 4’ sections of this material. Its Ikea aluminum drapery rods. Its way too nice to pitch and I’m wondering how to use it. I’d like to use it for a contemporary picture frame(s). It would be easy to cut the miters but I can’t figure out how to attach the corners. I have no welding skills or equipment.

JB Weld epoxy comes to mind.
