Q&A for How to Glue Glass

The appropriate annealing temperatures ensure that the glass can remain stationary without undergoing deformation over time. If the temperature is excessively high, such as at 1200 degrees for 10 minutes, the glass may appear stable initially but could gradually surpass the annealing point if left for an extended period, say, over 10 hours. The annealing point is the temperature at which the glass ceases to move and can theoretically remain in that state indefinitely. Below the annealing point, typically around the 700-degree range (though this can vary based on the specific glass composition), there exists a crucial stage known as the strain point. Glass must undergo a slow transition between the annealing and strain points, and subsequently, it needs to move from the strain point down to room temperature through another gradual process, although this is usually shorter in duration. Proper annealing, ensuring no movement while cooling, generally requires around a day, aligning with a meticulous understanding of these temperature transitions.

You glue handles on a wine glass with glue. There is Gorilla Super Glue, Loctite Glass Super Glue, or E-6000 2oz Clear Industrial Strength Glue. These basic glues are fine but the best adhesive or bonding agent for glass is known as an epoxy. Epoxy is made to use for almost any surface.

Yes, but a low-temp hot glue gun would be safer than a high-temp hot glue gun. If the glue is too hot, you could break the glass.

The best adhesive or bonding agent for glass is known as an epoxy. Epoxy is made to glue almost any type of material. But basic glues such as Gorilla Super Glue, Loctite 349 Glass to Glass Glue, and E-6000 Clear Industrial Strength Glue are all good types to use when trying to do that. You can find them in most hardware stores. Be patient and careful when gluing, since glass is probably one of the most satiny and unsafe things to use.

Use some of the really small bottles of industrial-strength glue. Be very careful not to get on your fingers in the process.

The best glue to use is super glue or silicone, because water does not remove these easily.

Yes! You can also use other, similar brands, as long as they say on the packaging that they are suitable for glass. On that note, Gorilla Glue makes products for different surfaces, so check the label to make sure that it's good for glass!

If you want to add mod-podge instead, that will make it clear and shiny. Either ways just add very little glue or mod-podge.

Test it in an inconspicuous location. If there isn't an inconspicuous location, try putting some of the glue you intend to use on something else that's glass (or whatever material you're gluing) and let it dry.

A glue gun will work best for gluing the glass in a jewelry box.

A glue gun will work well; hot glue that cools is the best option. Other glues won't set as hard and may come undone.

Preferably, since the surface of the glass is smooth. Sanding will make the glue stick better.

Use clear tape or melt the plastic onto the glass. Maybe a metal frame can help too.

It is not recommended, as it will likely not stay together very well.

A low- to medium-temperature hot glue gun will do the job perfectly. Just make sure to hold the stones in place after gluing by pressing then down somewhat firmly for about 15 - 30 seconds per stone to ensure they won't slide.

Use hot glue or super glue.

Do not take the risk if you are using it to hold watter. The glass is compromised and could break under the pressure.
