If one has access to a vacuum pump, vacuum bagging would work the best, problem would be using the right amount of material so that so much excess doesn't get squeezed out. Isolation of the non bonded areas would be critical as would be when the bag could be opened to access for cleanup with out the bond being compromised

I remember an article in the RVator awhile back about some guy who used suction cups on the inside of the window and wired them to an anchor somewhere in the center of the plane to get added/better pressure on the window. I know McMaster Carr sells suction cups rated for up to 50 pounds - may place about about 6-8 of the 30 pounders around the window and tie them back to somewhere to really get a good seal... Seemed like a good idea. Haven't tried it though.

Regarding solvents and their use on plexi - keep anything with ketones away from the plexiglass. They are very detrimental and can etch the surface. Ketones can be recognized by the "tone" ending in the name (acetone, methyl-ethyl ketone (MEK)) and are found in paint thinners and other solvents. Naphtha, sometimes called white gas or Coleman lamp fuel, is safe.
I made the mistake of using a vinyl ester resin on my RV-6 canopy and got numerous hair line cracks. Polyester resin is also a no-no, but epoxy is OK. I would be cautious (ie. not use) Bondo or any other polyester product near the glass. The high tech adhesives mentioned are all OK as far as I can tell.
Thanks for all of the good info.
