One thing to be sure to do if you glue in multiple steps is to re-do the
prep steps each time, and be sure to apply the primer and glue within
the timeframes specified. I spoke to a builder who did a bunch of
testing on the glue joints. He tested parts where they waited much
longer than specified between priming and gluing, and the joint strength
definitely suffers. Done properly, he verified that the glue joint is
stronger than the Plexiglas, but he said following the instructions is
paramount.
