I have not actually glued LEGOs, but I would imagine, for a permanent
solution, ABS cement would be your best bet. For a less drastic/permanent
solution a dab of silicon caulking in the center of the joining surface
will greatly increase adhesion of your bricks but not damage them in any
permanent way.

| I use Testors Plastic Cement. It is a clear liquid that comes in a little 1oz bottle. Seems to disolve the plastic for a few seconds. You put it on both pieces and quicky push them together. (26 years ago, 2-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| Has anyone experimented to identify the best way of bonding the plastic material that Lego uses for their standard blocks? What glues are most effective for strength, appearance, and mechanical considerations? Is welding a possibility? Thanks, Dave (...) (26 years ago, 2-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
