When bedding glass/lexan to wood or fiberglass, I like to apply silicone dots/ bumpers first. They are available in all sizes sometimes at home centers. The ones I have used are very small 3/16-1/4" in diameter and less than 1/8" in height. These are clear so don't show on the finished product. What they do is make sure the sealant isn't completely squeezed out at any point around the pane. The butyl tape is good too also although it keeps squeezing out forever. Nothing sticks to glass like silicone and nothing sticks to cured epoxy unless it is washed with soap & water after curing.
