I don't find any MEK in my neighborhood hardware store. Instead I bought a
bottle of methylene chloride from a model shop specifically for mending broken
Lego. Doesn't work too good, apparently.
But this thing is good enough for closing the cracks of older Technic toggle
joints that developed over time. I used it to mend two big pulley wheels that
broke off and cracked too.
OTOH I learned how to take apart and reassemble a Technic figure in the process,
so I'll be Frankensteining my broken Technic figs.

PS: I eventually sold my first lot of broken parts on ebay for $1.
