Lucite is just a brand name for one variety of acrylic... Of course any glass -> acrylic bond is gonna be ugly, think they recommend marine goop for that task.

just use silicone, put a bead on each side of the baffel and it will hold fine, Acrylic to glass with silicone is a lot better bond than people think.
