Duco cement will set up under a heat lamp and we coat multi layer thin
film coatings on set up plates for 100,12.5mm glass substrates all the
time.
Let the Duco set up and releive any outgassing, clean up is as easy as
Acetone to dissolve and clean the surface.
Get a syringe and just touch the edge between the placed substrate and
the aluminum and leave a small dab in the corners.
If they have to spin put a little more in the middles
just tack it into place.
