I use PlastStrut brand of styrene
cement. They make a couple of kinds. The one with the
orange label works on more kinds of plastic than the white
label so I use the orange label. The cement works by
dissolving a thin layer of the
styrene on each part. The the soft plastics "mix"
and the parts are bonded when the cement evaporates. This
cement is thin and evaporates quickly so you will need to be
generous in application. Although I'm working on the cutting
mat, be warned that this cement will soften the cutting mat
surface so be careful or work on a different surface.
