I think LEGO uses Loctite in its Model Shops when glueing together Technic
pieces. They used to use MEK - Methyl Ethyl Keytone (spelling?) - for the
'regular' ABS plastic bricks, but I don't know what they're using now. (MEK
doesn't "stick" to Technic axles.)
MEK would fuse the ABS plastic together, making a very strong bond.
How do you propose to bond multiple pieces without damaging them? Do you
want to seperate them someday?
