Q: Best Glue
I am making some 3-dimensional glass objects, made of stacks of stained
glass triangles. I have tried several types of glue, but after it dries I can easily pull the triangles apart. I would like to use a glue that is colorless and will keep these triangles stacked. Has anybody done something like this? What kind of glue did you use? |

If you don't have a UV light, you can leave them out in the sun (if it's warm enough) for a while. Here's the first hit for ' "UV glue" glass': http://www.glass-etching-kits.com/uv_glass_glue_orders.htm I have no idea what kind of company glass-etching-kits.com is, but they seem to have plenty of information about UV glue and glass.

And another point I forgot to mention--the UV glues will usually leave no visible bond if the surfaces are flat enough. A little tooth doesn't seem to matter, either, in case you're grinding it flat.

Mike Beede I have done some of this type work and would stick with the silicone sealant. |
