Did you see this?

The summary is that they combine ingredients and apply heat to make molten glass. Then they pour it into half-brick molds. Then they heat each half back up enough to fuse the halves together...and clean up the seam.

Answer 2

You have to ask the right question or your computer won't know where to go. Ask: How are glass blocks made? Anyway, most glass of any kind are poured hot into a mold, then removed. Voila. My whole family worked in actual glass factories where they were blown. Look that up for a real treat.

Answer 3

Well they (sand compound) are heated up to over 500 degrees and I believe they are blown and shaped like most glass items (e.g. bottles, pipes)

Answer 4

put glass in a cage with a block and let'm'mate
