This is what my bails look like. I use jet black, and put a dob in two places where I want my bail to attach, one is longer than the other, then I join them and use a reamer to even them up. Also you must be sure to pull a little on each attachment to align the glass molecules and insure that is isn't just stuck on and will break off easily. If you pull on the attachments the glass becomes one piece. It takes practice, I have been doing my bails this way for years, they are very sturdy. I have tried other ways, but this way looks great, my customers prefer them, and they don't break off.
