Sikaflex? Which One?

I need to purchase some of the Sika product to make a small canopy repair (broken rear corner flip up canopy) and I do have the broken triangular corner piece. Which Sika product should I use to place a rectangular SS metal patch over the corner and re bond the broken corner piece in place? and where can it be purchased?

I think I read on this forum that it is a 2 part bonding process similar to epoxy. I do know that epoxy will not bond to plexiglass. Ask me how I know.

Thanks
 
Wrong technique.

Search for bonding plexiglass, if the two parts fit well, then Tensol or similar will bond the plexiglass perfectly, it can then be buffed out.

Search CAF warbirds canopy repairs - there will be plenty of links. Those boys just glue a load of shards together, polish and bingo - a perfect window appears !!!
