Abstract
A glass surface is modified by maintaining a molten alloy body in contact with the surface, which molten body clings to a locating face which comprises at least two metals which migrate into the glass from the molten alloy body, and which dissolve from the locating face into the molten alloy body as migration proceeds, thereby replenishing the molten alloy body.
