*** Yet another variation on this one Dave is to apply PVA adhesive in squares and then rub a piece of glasspaper together loosely over the wet adhesive,then run lines of medium cyno between the PVA,the glass remnants stop the halves from sliding and the cyno gives instant grab,used this successfully in the past,it sounds complex but is quicker to do than to describe.
You can also easily thin down the PVA to make it easier to brush on.
Old flat irons obtainable fron car boot sales make excellent weights to hold things like this whilst the glue cures.
