 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?

I  wonder if this is an effect similar to the wringing of gage blocks where
extremely flat surfaces will adhear to each other. see  Wringability in
http://www.starrett.com/pages/72_wringability.cfm  Only gage blocks will
wring without any liquid between them.
