Gluing PVC to Acrylic?

Hey guys, just constructing a frag rack here. Using PVC pipes as the support stands and I would like to glue it to my acrylic rack portion of the design. What glue should I use for this? Does the clear frag glue work? Would I be better suited to try something else? Should I rough up the acrylic a bit before gluing?

I think Weldon 16 will bond acrylic and PVC. The clear cyanoacrylate glue will hold the pieces together, but don't expect it to be too strong.

That's how I would do it.
