A method of bonding includes applying a glass composition to at least a first material surface. The glass composition includes a glass powder and a solvent. The first material surface is disposed onto a second material surface. An elevated temperature is applied to the first material surface and the second material surface to form a bond between the first material surface and the second material surface. The first material surface and the second material surface are compressed under an isostatic pressure.
