    your weld would have to run the same way your glue is filling up[ the joint .on the over lap . not just on one pull point in the middle of your test strip weld it along the front and along the sides or just put the glue on the same way your fixing the strips on. if you weld it in the middle you would have to do the same with your glue this way if will it have a start place to fail like your test strips with out the glue i would say that the spot welds will go with them set on one pulling plane and the bolts may not hold as well less you have big surface / washer . what i am trying to say is that you have a over lap joint with your glue and not with any of your welds or fasteners
