| What’s the best way to bond LEGO® pieces? From Mike McKee: ! I like to use a warm glue gun (not hot melt). It provides a good, solid adhesion. You can get the bricks apart later, with a little extra effort, and then completely peel out the adhesive easily. I’ve also used Elmer’s Glue-All for more solid fixation, but I’ve found it harder to get the dried glue off of the bricks. From Eric Harshbarger: ! I use Oatey All Purpose, PVC, CPVC, ABS Cement. It is available in the US at Lowes and Home Depot hardware stores. From John Gerlach: ! When I worked at the LEGO Imagination Center, we used the ‘Super Glue’ brand adhesive on Technic pieces. I don’t know how well it will stand up to tension though. Put a small drop inside the connector, then push the axle in. This way any excess glue will be inside the connector instead of on the outside. (One of the rules of glueing - try not to let any glue show from the outside!) Also, be careful not to glue your fingers together! For regular bricks, we used MEK. MEK stands for methyl ethyl keytone. It’s a solvent that fuses the ABS plastic together. Very nasty stuff to work with - you don’t want to breath the vapors. |
