airplanes used to employ this sort of melding technique I'm describing in
their construction, right? But I have no idea of the chemistry involved --
whether pdp11 switch plastic is compatible with that sort of glue.
An -11 owner would be able to say for certain, but the old model
airplane solvent glue was methyl chloride. It's also in a lot paint
stripper as well. "Tenax" model glue is a name that comes to mind.
