I've been told this is a cheap way to fix small windshield cracks. Never tried it but sounds like it would work for the small spider sized and shaped cracks from small rock impacts.

This is basically what the glass repair kits sold at auto parts stores are. (They also include a suction cup with syringe, to vacuum any air bubbles out.)
And, bringing this topic full circle, the chemical in those kits is methyl methacrylate!
The expensive way is superglue plus a little suction cup to evacuate the air, and a razor blade.
The rule of thumb is that if the damage fits under a US quarter, it'll work for sure, and if it fits under a dollar bill, it's worth a try.
