Cold Glass Working?

1 ⤊

I am looking for more information on Cold-Glass working. I can't seem to find anything online. I am looking for books, what kind of glass I need, where can i find it and how to laminate the glass and fuse it together. I am interested in sculpting the glass and putting the pieces together but not using a kiln or tourch. Strictly Lamination or anyother way of working with cold glass. All of your help, instructions, book ideas or websites will be great. Thank you

You might try Ultra Violet glue. You will also need an Ultraviolet light.

You can also try Krazy Glue.

don't know if there is a book, there are probably some chapters in books about glass blowing. If you google you might find a number of websites (see 2 examples below).
things I can think of besides laminating (UV glue would be the best choice).
bottle cutting/glass cutting
cutting with tile saw
etching
sandblasting
stained glass
engraving

This is a continuing aggravation. Most of the books and info are hidden under the label of beveling glass. There are several glues that can be used for bonding glass almost invisibly and some are strong enough to permit working the outside after they are glued. Most cure with UV through the glass.
