I'm planning to use some Lego-type blocks for an upcoming terrain project, and wondering if you have any advice for what glue to use on them to permanently assemble them.

* plastic solvent?
* superglue?
* white glue?
etc.

The Lego movie featured a terrifying menace called "The Kragle", or as we might know it, "Krazy Glue". My experience has been a tiny dab will permanently affix two lego pieces together.

Most lego blocks are made from ABS plastic, so an adhesive suitable for that will bond them. Anything containing MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone), such as EMA Plastic Weld, or even straight MEK from a chemical supplier would work.

Also, just to nitpick (…wargamer…), Lego is like sheep.

Plural of sheep is sheep.
Plural of Lego is Lego. No ‘s' involved…

Glue? For Lego?!? The mind recoils. (Hence the movie…)
