Default best adhesive to stick plywood to glass?

It would depend on the mechanical load. If you're gluing it against a
shear load (the other end of the plywood is attached elsewhere), then
any would work (although cyano would need the plywood edge sanded
smooth first).

If it's a cantilever and this is the only support it's getting, then
I'd use epoxy. I'd use West System thin epoxy (I always do) and I'd
fill it with cellulose fibre filler to thicken it and make it
stronger.

If it didn't need to be rigid, but did need to not be brittle, then
I'd use silicone.


Many thanks! The other end of the plywood will be attached in similar
fashion to another pane of glass. I think I may use thicker than 5mm
glass now. If any of the adhesives you mention would do the job, I may
go for epoxy. Need also to have it fairly thick, so it doesn't run all
over the place, so I'll check out some fillers. Also need it to be
clear if possible.

Thanks again.
