If rain already will dissolve the glue, sweat surely will.
So the ballistic properties will also be lost very fast.
Maybe as an other test you could try to paint the outside layers.
I think that the only thing to keep it from falling apart is sewing the linen together, but then you would be talking more about quilted armour than about a Linothorax.
