Re: ATM Sticking Together

The joint isn't very strong although the large area does cause high
pressures to happen when taking them apart.  As a result, the glass will
eventually come apart.  Even wrung together polished glass will eventually
pop apart over time.  If you do get a good full joint by wringing then you
can then pop that into a furnace and get them to fuse together without any
air between the two pieces but usually some air happens and you have a
bubble layer.
