Ah, so it really is a legitimate word then - sort of. I've used it to 
indicate just the ledge on top of the inner rim and belly rail, the 
gluing surface for the panel, because "rasten" is easier to type.

Theoretically, if any two of us were using the same terminology, it 
ought to be possible for us to communicate amongst ourselves.
