OK, so is Loctite Power Grab safe and effective on ABS and styrene?

Try it and let us know.

George, I was really surprised at how many adhesives Loctite makes now. "Power Grab" looks to be part of their construction glue line. Which specific Power Grab glue are you talking about?

I think this is the only version available in a smaller size package

Seems to stick to a lot of stuff, Polypropylene sheets (like those "corrugated" signs) are the one thing I've found it doesn't stick to (very little does). I don't think HDPE (like a cutting board) will either.

I know it worked on extruded Styrofoam, ABS sheets and thermoplastic electrical boxes that I used to make my GhostBusters proton pack for last Halloween.

I got some E6000, and I'm trying it out on brass-plastic bonds. I intend to try it on brass-brass bonds, too.

Re E6000 glue: I made a wood pile insert for my tender. The base is sheet brass, and the wood is pieces of extra-long matchsticks. The bond strength, both wood-to-brass and wood-to-wood, is amazingly high.
