...the incompatibility with plastics takes two forms. In one form, the solvents in it attack polystyrene and similar materials like styrofoam by softening and dissolving them. The other form of incompatibility is that the stuff simply doesn't stick to some plastics like polyethylene and polypropylene because these materials are fairly inert and quite resistant to the solvents.
Personally, I don't use the stuff because I find the smell nauseating. Also, if I can't devise a mechanical of means of attaching a new part, I don't use it.
