1. A method of creating an engineered solvent bond between two items each having a nonporous surface to be bonded to the other comprising the steps of:

  • a. predetermining the volume of viscous material to be created;

    thenb. providing at least one spacer between said surfaces;

    c. removing said at least one spacer;

    d. applying a solvent between the surfaces to be bonded;

    thene. creating an appropriate volume of viscous material through action of said solvent in dissolving the surfaces;

    thenf. acting upon the surfaces while they are in a dissolved state in order to intermix said viscous material from both surfaces;

    theng. curing said surfaces to eliminate said viscous material and create a bonded joint.
