Terry,
I use acetone for gluing. I put a piece of blotter paper in a small metal
container, and add just enough MEK or acetone to make it very wet. Then I
push to bottom of a brick into the blotter paper and hold it there for 1-2
seconds. Then snap the piece on to another and push together. This
process is very much like using a rubber stamp. The glue goes on the
bottom, but not the sides. If you hold it in the glue for too long, the
plastic will soften and squish out the sides when you push the two pieces
together.
Good luck.
- pete.
