Unlike wood or other materials, polystyrene parts are joined by bonding with a solvent. Parts are assembled by merely holding them in position and applying a small amount of solvent to the unit. Use a small brush (#000) and apply the cement very sparingly-only a little is required to make a joint. The cement will be drawn into the joint by capillary action, softening the mating surfaces so that a fast bond, as strong as polystyrene, is formed. Several solvents are suitable for bonding polystyrene including Testors Plastic cement and Micro weld. For cementing polystyrene to other surfaces or painted surfaces, use fast setting epoxy or an alpha cyanoacrylate (ACC).
