Default Bonding Plexiglass

I'm looking for some info on products to use to bond plexiglass
windshields and other windows in the airframe. I know some guys use
laminating epoxy. I'm sure there are other products as good or better.
Anybody with experience?
Also, anybody with experience with products like zolatone or similiar?


A chum at work building an RV-9 just did his canopy with an aerospace
bonding material specially for plexi that cost 15 bucks or so for a
tube. The bonding agent has to allow for thermal expansion of the
canopy so it goes in in about a 1/8 inch thick layer, that is achieved
using spacers as the stuff is injected into the joint. I'll get the
name tomorrow.
