    I am co teaching a local workshop in viking weaving. The other
    teacher is the glass person. The idea is that she would make pendants
    with them and I would take two afternoons to teach the weaving and
    then teach them to wire them up so they can hang them on their own
    chains. She thought that she could tack fuse the two layers so that
    there would be a groove to hold the wire. She made three samples for
    me and the idea worked fine. However, things did not go well with
    the student glass. Layers slid and edges fused. She is now off on a
    trip and I have the problem. I have students doing some grinding
    along corners but don't think that fifteen people and two Dremels
    will get the groove to suit me. Much as it pains me, I think I will
    need to resort to glue as well. I know about E 6000 but think that it
    would show. I don't trust super glues and I never manage to mix epoxy
    so it hardens. Are there other glues that anyone could recommend?
