I saw that today while shopping the adhesives section of Lowe's, but didn't end
up getting it (I may yet, depending on how tests go). Curiously when I mention
the temperature requirement, the helpful salesperson almost laughed out loud
:-). After a lot of reading, I was unable to find an epoxy that listed
temperatures anything like as low as I'm worried about, so I went with a small
tube of silicone sealant (as those all listed maximum temperatures, but not
minimums), and LocTite "Stik 'n Seal Ultra", which remarkably enough claims an
operational temperature range down to -50° C explicitly (!). I'm trying the
LocTite first (it's clamped right now) to see what happens... but at least it
didn't dissolve the ABS.

For now, let's just say I'm thinking of taking LEGO into a whole new range of
environments. Actually, I've had good luck playing with robots in snow and water
lately, so you never know.
