You much see this video if you are trying to recontact your etalon.
The 2 pieces of glass stick together automatically!

Re: Contacting 2 pieces of glass (video)
Hi Wah
happy new year to you too.
Thank you very much for the link. That looks very, very easy, but it is not at all. Even the specialists couldn't recontact my etalon.
All surfaces have to be extremely flat and clean. Recontacting an etalon means to recontact the right spacers on one glass and recontact the other glass on top of the spacers. I would very much wish it was so easy. I'm the first to try it on my broken etalon
