Has anyone any idea how you could glue glass in this fashion?


A UV cure glue, and a very expensive UV light. This is a wondeful bit
of kit to work with, because it's as instant and controllable as
welding. If you can work slower and arrange to clamp it in situ, then
you can use an EPROM eraser.

For small jobs, a less strong but more flexible version of this is
sold in car accesory shops for attaching rear-view mirors to
windscreens.


Tks.

What's an EPROM eraser and where do I get one (it?)


Use a blacklight blue tube. The shorter wavelengths from an eprom
eraser (germicidal tube) are dangerous, and won't go through
ordinary glass anyway, so can't help in curing the glue.

Other sources are bright sunlight (problem at this time of year),
and high power halogen lamps which have no glass cover.
