Bonding stainless steel to glass...
(OP)
We are building some small 316/316L stainless steel enclosures that will house underwater cameras. They will have 38mm diameter round openings where a 42mm diameter disc of borosilicate glass lens will be bonded from the backside directly to the 316 stainless housing. The borosilicate glass lens will be flat as will the stainless steel. The housings will be submerged in ocean water to about 3-4 feet depth for extended periods of time so they need to be water tight. Which of your adhesives will work best for our application?

The best thing to do would be to fuse the glass directly to the metal.
The next best thing would be to buy a pre-made fused glass window with a bolted o-ring flange and install that.
