 | | Re: Which glue?

| (...) There is of course an alternative, if you want to put up with the hassle. Buy a good respirator with a cartridges designed to filter out the MEK. But you need to be careful. You need to make sure that the cartridges are fresh as once in use (...) (19 years ago, 23-Feb-08, to lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)

| | Re: Scale Modelers Aren't the Only Ones . . .

| (...) Using a standard #1 knuckle coupler is an interesting idea. But instead of using the raw shank version, why not go with one that is mounted in a draft gear box? A little epoxy or MEK could probably mount the draft gear box on a hacked brick. (...) (19 years ago, 28-Jan-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

As for CA (superglue), the fumes are nearly as dangerous (...) (20 years ago, 17-Feb-07, to lugnet.parts.mod)

It is rather a solvent that literally loosens the plastic molecules of the ABS, and allows them to intertwine between bricks. Once it evaporates, the ABS returns to a (...)

| | Which glue?
|
| I will soon be gluing LED's (light emitting diodes) inside some LEGO elements. In the past, I've always used MEK for gluing LEGO pieces together, but I need something a little more viscous and less runny for this. Any suggestions? -Rob (...)

Pics are at (URL) it took was a Dremel, some MEK to glue it up, and a LOT of fiddling, (...) (20 years ago, 8-Aug-06, to lugnet.general)

| | Re: Gluing Lego

| MEK is about all that will work well. The parks use a combo of MEK and liquid ABS resin, but MEK will work well enough. You can get pint cans of it at various hardware stores, I'm pretty sure HD/Lowe's would have it in the paint dept. If not, try (...) (21 years ago, 16-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Like MEK it works by melting the ABS so when the solvent (...) (21 years ago, 15-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| (...) I glue a lot of Lego bricks. (In a good cause.) I use clear PVC/CPVC pipe cement. It is MEK based but has filler so it doesn't vanish after you apply it and before you press the pieces together. Apply with a tooth pick. Practice first. You can (...)
