Default 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?

Have you de-greased the glass thoroughly before glueing ?
Silicon bathtub sealant (clear) works well -

There are a number of ultraviolet-curing glues that
work well with glass. 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.

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