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. (25 years ago, 2-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
