Thereafter, a glass primer is applied to the glass, an adhesive is applied, and the glass is adhered to an adherend. The first solution includes not less than 0.1 mass % and not more than 10 mass % of the dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, and not less than 0.01 mass % and not more than 5 mass % of the p-toluenesulfonic acid, per 100 mass % of the solvent. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for adhering glass comprising: a first cleaning step wherein ceramic printed glass is cleaned using a first solution comprising dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, and a solvent; a second cleaning step wherein the ceramic printed glass cleaned using the first solution is cleaned using a second solution comprising an alkoxysilane compound and a second solvent; a glass primer application step wherein a glass primer is applied to the ceramic printed glass cleaned using the first solution and the second solution; and a glass adhering step wherein an adhesive is applied to the ceramic printed glass after the glass primer has been applied, and the ceramic printed glass to which the adhesive has been applied is adhered to an adherend; wherein the first solution includes not less than 0.1 mass % and not more than 10 mass % of the dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, and not less than 0.01 mass % and not more than 5 mass % of the p-toluenesulfonic acid, per 100 mass % of the solvent, and wherein the solvent of the first solution and the second solvent each include isopropyl alcohol. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method for adhering glass according to claim 1, wherein the alkoxysilane compound comprises at least one of an imino group, an amino group, and a mercapto group. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method for adhering glass according to claim 1, wherein the alkoxysilane compound is dimethylphenyl methoxysilane. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method for adhering glass according to claim 1, wherein the first solution comprises an alkyl aromatic sulfonic acid and a sulfonic acid that contains a functional group other than a sulfo group. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method for adhering glass according to claim 1, wherein the first solution comprises water. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method for adhering glass according to claim 1, wherein the first solution includes not less than 0.5 mass % and not more than 1.5 mass % of the dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid per 100 mass % of the solvent. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method for adhering glass according to claim 1, wherein the first solution includes not less than 0.1 mass % and not more than 0.7 mass % of the p-toluenesulfonic acid per 100 mass % of the solvent. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method for adhering glass according to claim 1, wherein the first solution comprises one or more additives selected from the group consisting of polyisocyanate compounds, silane coupling agents, catalysts, resins, fillers, colorants, and drying agents; wherein the polyisocyanate compounds have an isocyanate group at an end thereof. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method for adhering glass according to claim 1, wherein the first cleaning step comprises at least one of immersing the ceramic printed glass in the first solution, dripping the first solution on the ceramic printed glass using a dropper, and wiping the surface of the ceramic printed glass with gauze. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method for adhering glass according to claim 1, wherein the second solution comprises a surface treating agent in addition to the alkoxysilane compound, the surface treating agent comprising at least one of a cationic, anionic, and nonionic surfactant. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method for adhering glass according to claim 1, wherein a content of the alkoxysilane compound in the second solution is not less than 0.1 mass % and not more than 3 mass %. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The method for adhering glass according to claim 1, wherein the second solution further comprises a glycol additive. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The method for adhering glass according to claim 1, wherein the second solution further comprises a methanol or ethanol solvent. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The method for adhering glass according to claim 1, wherein the second solution further comprises a metal anticorrosive and a colorant. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The method for adhering glass according to claim 1, wherein the second solvent and the solvent in the first solution each further comprise methyl ethyl ketone. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The method for adhering glass according to claim 1, wherein the second cleaning step comprises at least one of immersing the ceramic printed glass in the second solution, dripping the second solution on the ceramic printed glass using a dropper, brush application, and wiping the surface of the ceramic printed glass with gauze. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The method for adhering glass according to claim 1, wherein the glass primer comprises an isocyanate compound compounded in a silane-modified acrylic resin, wherein the silane-modified acrylic resin is: an acrylic resin modified by silane wherein a silicone bond has been introduced into the backbone of the acrylic resin; or a resin wherein the acrylic backbone is modified by an alkoxysilane Si(OR)n. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The method for adhering glass according to claim 1, wherein the glass primer application step comprises at least one of applying the glass primer to the ceramic printed glass using a brush, and applying by spraying. ### Claim 19 (depends on 1) The method for adhering glass according to claim 1, wherein the adhesive is a urethane-based adhesive. ### Claim 20 (depends on 1) The method for adhering glass according to claim 1, wherein the glass adhering step comprises applying the adhesive to the ceramic printed glass to which the glass primer has been applied using a gun.
