Need to laminate some glass

[originator]

I have been researching some products for laminating with 1/4" low iron glass whereas the laminate would be conductive resulting in a touch sensitive product to connect to a circuit for generating a pulse from touching the glass. I have narrowed the possibilities down to stainless or carbon fiber material as a component with the plastic. The next step for us is to glue the parts together.

We are most likely going to drill the glass for its hanging mechanisms, then send the glass out to be heat tempered. Can any recommend the easiest lo-tech method for gluing the glass and laminate together for the final product? Our first choice is to to this in house if there is a way to press the materials together without the need for a large furnace. The second choice is to send it out to a laminator.

Any advice would be great. We are still sourcing the glue component as well.

You might want to contact the folks at Saflex (PVB ,polyvinyl butyral) interlayer for glass .

Thanks, I tried them but not quite the right product. I am now looking at 3m touch screens as an option.

A crude optioon might be ITO sputtered on the glass, with a connector attached. This way I use any of a variety of laminates and have many more options since they dont have to be conductive due to using the ITO.

I have not successfully found a manufacturer for conductive film that is still cosmetically varied in colors, textures etc, so it may not exist what I am looking for.

BTW any contacts for ITO process in LA/So Cal would be appreciated!
