Can Styrene bond to an NES controller?

Super-Deformed's in-depth isntruction on using Styrene made me decide that it was the case material for me - but I'd also like to franken-case a little - I want to attach some things to an NES controller, but I don't know what kind of plastic it is, or if it bonds with Styrene well. If I use plastc Cement, will I be able to form a strong bond between the Styrene and the controller?

Use marine epoxy and bondo. It works wonders. I did it myself. Speaking of which, want some styrene? I got loads that I'm probably not going to use.

That would be awesome - what would the shipping be like from canada?
Edit: I'm in California

Actually, how much does styrene even cost - is there a chance shipping it might cost the same as buying locally?

Styrene's pretty cheap if you can find it. eBay can probably beat me price-wise. PM me if you can't get a hold of any

Sure thing - I'll check around town at the hobby shops first. I've been lucky enough to find everything I need locally, except the screen. I don't like waiting around to finish projects - with any luck, i'll have everything I need by Saturday and I'll finish it next weekend.
Thanks again Kurt, you've been a lot of help!

Oh wow - Styrene is only $3 a square foot at the local TAP, so I might as well stick local! Thanks anyway Kurt_! Who knows, I might not even need it if I fried my circuit board.
