Default Latex Window Glazing

I have a number of windows that need repair and they need to be done in
plexiglass, not glass. Unfortunately the commonly available window glazing
in bulk quantities is the DAP 33, which is not to be used for plastic
window panes. The only alternative is the expensive DAP in a tube.
Searches on the internet only bring up the DAP in the tube. Is there any
other product out there that would be appropriate to use for this
application? The windows are metal frames. Thanks.

firstly, why mjst they be done in plexiglass if they were originally
in glass? Ordinary latex or silicon caulk should be OK in your
case.

Acrylic or polycarbonate plastic is best where pets or children might
be injured by broken glass.
