Pic Epoxy has a fast cure laminating resin that works well for small projects. It can be applied with a playing card. Acetone is the preferred thinner, but epoxy should not be thinned too much or you could end up with a goeey mess.
I like CA also, it takes very little to saturate the glass. I do not use thin CA though, I think medium is a better choice. Mist the cloth with contact adhesive spray just enough to hold the cloth in position, then apply the cloth to your project. Once the cloth is in position, start working the CA into the cloth, you can use a scrap card to spread it out.
The fumes are bad news, this is the biggest drawback.
