Vitrify The process of changing certain materials into glass or a glassy substance by heat or fusion.
 
Vitrofusion Vitrofusion technique relates to the fusing compatibility between two types of glass. Vitrofusion is a glassmaking technique by overlapping, folding, embossing and colouring using ceramic oxides. This technique was successfully carried out by the Egyptians in ancient times. The stress meter verifies glass compatibility, which shows, by a system of polarized lenses, the inner strains in the finished piece: the more evident the strain, the more fragile the glass.
