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 mom&pop hardware stores.
Be careful using it, as I believe it will damage the normal finish of
the bricks (I think that is what the liquid ABS is for - increased
adhesion, and giving a glossy surface). Try to only put it on the
internals of the bricks before pressing them on the sculpture, and go
light on it.
Use it outdoors, it's nasty stuff.
