Abstract
A method, a system and a product made therefrom including the steps of providing electrically non-conductive pieces or fragments, causing at least a portion of the electrically non-conductive pieces or fragments to become temporarily electrically conductive, combining adhesive which sets when sufficient heat is applied thereto with the temporarily electrically conductive pieces or fragments, and applying voltage across the temporarily electrically conductive pieces or fragments and adhesive combination so as to produce an electric current through the temporarily electrically conductive pieces or fragments which, in turn, generates heat within the temporarily electrically conductive pieces or fragments and adhesive combination.
