Abstract:
1. A method of making a composite glass sheet comprising the steps of: providing first and second sheets of translucent glass having first and second principle sides coating at least a portion of at least one of said first principle sides of said first and second sheets with a layer of ceramic paint; placing said first and second sheets of coated translucent glass together such that said first principle sides are in contact with each other forming a sandwich; contacting a layer of material on at least a portion of an external surface of at least one of said first and second glass sheets that will cause differential heating of the layer of ceramic paint applied to at least a portion of at least one of said first principle sides of said first and second sheets when the sandwich is heated to temperatures which will fuse the first and second sheets together; and heating the sandwich to a sufficient temperature for a sufficient time such that said first and second coated sheets of glass are fused together.
