=>I use any of the water white, liquid styrene cements. Tenax, Plastic =>Weld, Testors. These are all "solvent" cements. They are something =>really active in the solvent dept like MEK or tricloromethane which =>softens the plastic and turns it sticky. When they evaporate, the =>plastic hardens. Done right, such a joint is as strong as the virgin =>plastic. You can mate two pieces and brush the cement onto the hidden =>side of the joint and capillary action will suck the cement into the =>joint and bond it. For styrene to styrene joints, it's the strongest =>way to go. For styrene to anything else, you don't get any adhesion at =>all. Best to use something like CA or expoxy in that case. =>

Just make sure you don't sniff the stuff. :-)
Seriously, MEK ansd TCM are very, very bad for you, so use good ventilation, keep the lid on the bottle, etc.
