Plexiglass does not like to be screwed down and will stress crack easily and quickly from such pressure points as screw heads.

I know that Menards sells plastic glue but its in small quantities. I suppose one could be screwed together if the plastic was thick enough. I know that drilling Plexiglass can be tricky as it tends to fracture/shatter if you are not careful. I think that Lexan is more forgiving but more costly.
