Yeah, we laminate full sheets daily in production here.
My process:
Pull it down to a vacuum table and deck the shine off on a mill. However you want to go about doing this, you need to get the shine off the sheet.
Clean with alcohol
Wet both surfaces with epoxy, a good sized dab on both surfaces spread with a card (I'm using west systems now since acraglas isn't what it used to be)
Lay the liner on an accurate flat surface
Apply about 30 grams of epoxy to the center of the liner and feather it out a bit with a card being careful to avoid undulations creating air pocket traps
pop any significant air bubbles (air, torch etc)
Lay the sheet onto the liner
Apply a heavy weight to the center until the epoxy starts to flow out of the seam
Apply additional weights across the sheet
This process has evolved over time to be what it is. We almost never have air bubbles or gaps or pockets and the bond is very good. The key is removing the shine, wetting both surfaces and then using enough epoxy that it flows out of the joint with weight. Much of the epoxy is "lost", but it's this waste that contains most of the bubbles.
One thing that I like about this approach is you're casting the shape of the surface that you're setting the work on into the finished sheet so your finished work is often flatter than the sheets you started with. I used to use a surface plate for this but we now have accurate machined plates. I level those plates so the work doesn't float around a lot. Some wax on the plate keeps the epoxy from sticking to the plate too much. It pops off with a tap from a wood chisel.
