Abstract

According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of joining at least two pieces of glass, the method comprising arranging the at least two pieces of glass into a structure, there being a region in a first piece of glass that is to be joined with a region in a second piece of glass, the first and second pieces of glass being arranged such that the regions to be joined are adjacent to each other; heating the pieces of glass to a temperature that is between the strain point and softening point of the glass; applying additional heat simultaneously to all parts of the regions that are to be joined, such that the temperature of said regions is taken to or above the softening point of the glass and the regions join together; and removing the additional heat to allow the regions of the pieces of glass to cool to a temperature that is between the strain point and softening point of the glass. According to a second aspect there is provided a method of creating an open-ended stub in a piece of glass.
