Hello Don. I have not had any problems with the PVA holding on the rear joints. Maybe, using a clip with a wider head (like the blue one in your picture that provides a bigger footprint) might help. Also see if you can find that Bison D2 glue that I mentioned to @Pathfinder65 Jan. I have no experience with either Weldbond or Elmers, but I much prefer the Bison product to Titebond II or III.

This is all I use - the most incredible PVA glue imaginable!> I just have no idea whether I can export it! (By the way, it costs about 1.50 USD for this tub!)

I start by marking the reverse side of the Frames clearly.

The drawings illustrate the bevel lines very clearly - for the Front Frame on the Left and the Rear Frame on the Right.

When we look at Frame #3 we can clearly see the bevel lines indicated on the both the Front and Rear Sides of the Frame. This is an exact repetition of what we saw on the Frame Drawings.

The Front of the Frame is lined up with the INSIDE line so that the bevel lines remain visible on the OUTSIDE of the Frame once it is in the correct position.

The Rear Frame is placed exactly ON the lines so that there are NO LINES VISIBLE once it is in the correct position.

Now I will start the gluing and post more a bit later.
 
OK HERE ARE PICTURES OF DRY FITTED FRAME NO. 3 I DO NOT KNOW IF I HAVE IT RIGHT OR NOT. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE ALL DON

Don if you make absolutely sure that the two notches are correctly aligned and that the overlap of the rear frame is equal on both sides, you are PERFECT!
 
So by now I am sure that you have glued or will shortly glue the back and front halves of Frame #3 together. You will see that when viewed from the front, the rear frame will overlap the front one. Now you simply proceed with bevelling the front frame from the indicated lines.

Now it's time for the bevelling on the rear part of the frame.

As you bevel, you will see a line of sawdust developing on the frame. I use this line as an indication of how smooth and equal my curve is.

Here you can see both sides bevelled. I have tried to hold the frame so that the light clearly catches the bevel, but I can obviously only manage to catch one side at a time.

And when we put the bevelled frame on the drawing, it all matches up. It may not look like at it on this picture, because I did not have time to get onto a chair in order to take the picture directly from the top. It thus appears not to be in perfect alignment with the drawing because of angles.

Kind regards - Heinrich
