Re: [ATM] Glueing plate glass

I still wonder about using water to fuse glass plates. These should
be at the level of individual hydrogen bonds and/or water molecules.
If you polish two pieces of plate glass together, wash them thoroughly
and let them dry clamped together, they will be very difficult, if
not impossible, to pull apart without breaking. Has anyone tried or
know this to not work by critical inspection?
