Test drying time is a good reason although I didn't think about that until now lol.
If just a flat PE parts to glue will be fine by me, however if it's needs to bend into a specific shape like that storage basket behind the turret then really pain in the ass just like you said, and I just ruined it very successfully.
Now I just wish it'll be looking not so awful after painting.
