Methods of making improved framed transparent armor product are provided. The product having a compressive element; a high flow adhesive-sealant elastomeric material; a frame and a multilayer transparent armor (TA) laminate. The frame and TA laminate being about the same depth, the frame being larger than the TA in length and width thereby defining a potting gap between the interior of the frame and the outer edges of the TA when the TA is placed inside the frame. The compressive element is located with the potting gap at the site of any layer of the TA that may undergo expansion.
