Abstract
A method for manufacturing a glass panel unit includes a glue arrangement step, an assembly forming step, a first melting step, an evacuation step, and a second melting step. The first melting step includes melting a hot glue, bonding a first and second panel with the glue, and forming an internal space. The first melting step includes a first temperature raising step, a first temperature maintaining step including maintaining the temperature of the assembly at a temperature equal to or higher than a softening point of the hot glue, and a first temperature lowering step, which are performed in this order. The first temperature lowering step includes: an anterior temperature lowering step including lowering the temperature of the assembly; a middle temperature maintaining step including maintaining the temperature of the assembly; and a posterior temperature lowering step including lowering the temperature of the assembly, which are performed in this order.
