Interesting setup Nelson. I have glued lexan/plexyglass terrariums with my
students for as long as I've been teaching and the adhesive works great.
However your handles look very sharp and sporting unique. Please update
with a completed photo.

Speaking about our plexyglass replacement for our side screens. Our dear
friend Frank Clarici popped mine in seconds after I cut them by hand and
sanded but just couldn't get them in. He was a true master and I only wish
I had met him sooner as well as he lived longer of course. His
encouragement to instill confidence in each and everyone of us will live
throughout our lives and hopefully we all  pass it to the next generation
as kindly as he did.

In honor and memory of the Dean of all Spridgets,
