Wow... I've got all kinds of ideas to consider and try... thanks guys! I appreciate all the input!

Although it won't work, I like Jr's ironic thinking- use a gasket from a real porthole! Yes they do have gaskets, but they're just O-rings and not very thick. The glass, however, must be at least 3/4 inch thick... maybe even a hair more. I brought one of those old portholes home years ago... it was a gift for my brother-in-law who likes to make things out of neat stuff. That thing (with the brass frame around the glass) was HEAVY!!
