Melting/joining glass

[Seahorse]

My boss wants to make a solar heater out of glass tubes but he needs to know how to melt/join glass.
Any ideas?

Could do with some more info really...He needs to know what type of glass he has.
Two ways of fusing glass by heat - kiln or torch

Another way is to use UV glue

Depends on how the glass will be used afterwards.
Hope this helps

get him to look on some "green" forums for inspiration.

Never saw this post originally. If you're still after the info Seahorse I'll ask my hubby later cos he kind of does that sort of thing as his day job so will probably know the answer.

Its for my boss who, I have to say, is incredibly flighty.He hasnt mentioned it since I posted, if he brings it up again il get back to you.
