Publication number: 20220017413Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a method of forming a glass article having a glass cover sheet and a frame. The glass cover sheet includes a first major surface and a second major surface in which the second major surface is opposite the first major surface. The frame has a support surface. In the method, a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is applied to a first region of the glass cover sheet or of the frame. A liquid adhesive is applied to a second region of the glass cover sheet or of the frame. Pressure is applied to the glass cover sheet and the frame to cause the pressure-sensitive adhesive to adhere the glass cover sheet to the frame at a first bond strength. The liquid adhesive is cured to adhere the glass cover sheet to the frame at a second bond strength that is greater than the first bond strength.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2019Publication date: January 20, 2022Inventors: Arpita Mitra, Michael William Price
