FWIW When I worked on HP calculators I talked to a friend of mine that
is a plastics engineer and asked him what was the best kind of glue to use
on them. He said that they were made of ABS plastic and to use the PVC cement.
Also, there are some VERY good CA adhesives (aka Super Glue). We used
them in place of welding to assemble devices used in a lot of military
equipment. The problem is that they don't sell the good stuff to civilians.
All we get is the watered down S^&T!
