Michael,
That's right, the lenses angle inward when you're done and the goggle lenses are flat. But when you wear it and the goggles wrap around your face the lenses become flat and you can look straight forward normally and your line of sight won't diverge. That angle is determined by test-wearing the goggles normally and see how much it wraps around your face. It varies for everyone. For me it's around 15 degrees per eye.
I just use the 4$ air-cured epoxy you get from Home Despot that hardens in 5-6 minutes. Once you mix it wait a few minutes, you want to wait until the epoxy is as thick and gooey as caramel otherwise it will slump and run under the lens and you lose some field of vision. Practice many, many times (on an angled coin & piece of plastic). Don't be afraid to mix a new batch even for every drop because patience is key here.
I put one drop that becomes the 'foot' to support the lens, then once that's harden enough I put another drop over the lens top to hold it in place. The epoxy is slightly yellow / clear, but I don't notice it underwater. So far, treating it gently, it seems to be working out okay.
Good luck! (Get Doug to do it!!)
