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.

You can buy a blacklight UV bulb with standard bayonet fitting for
about 5 GBP. These give out a small amount of UV. If you carefully
remove the outer glass case, which is in fact a UV filter, the inside
which is a self-contained UV discharge tube yields a considerable
amount of UV. However you must be careful not to get the UV in your
eyes. You should wear a pair of googles to UV 400 standard.


err

This is all very interesting chaps and I'm sure I'm going to be
eternally grateful one day. In the meantime, does anyone know of
anything in a tube - you know, the kind you can squeeze at one end and
out pops the magic potion at the other?

Failing that it's beginning to look like 360 dumps at the bathroom
shop - down the tubes you might say (ouch, I'll get me coat)!

Don't know what you would do for a UV source though - maybe a sunbed or
those things they use for hardening nail polish in salons?
