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?
