Sticky Stuff?

[Tony G]

I was making some forms out of this blue, dense styrofoam this morning and I was wondering what adhesive to use to stick the layers together.

Anybody knows what works?  Any ideas?

Thanks :cool:

howzitgoin Tony,

3M makes a specific styrofoam glue spray in a can  - crafts supply.

I used regular contact cement when I made a form out of urethane insulation form.  Maybe a waterbourn cement would work on styrofoam.

Bet Titebond yellow glue would work if you have the time to let it set.

Barge cement?, Goop glue?, try anything without a solvent.

 :cool: Let us know what works for you.

I never thought of contact cement.  I think I push that stuff tothe back of my mind because of all the times I stuck stuff where I didn't want it.  Well, I used a hot glue gun and it worked fine.  First time out of the package since Christmas!!!

What are we looking at?  Model for a 767 jet?
Or the housing for thr instrument array at the aft end of the 'hood?

Male or Female?  I think it's just as much work either way!!! :eek:

If you use contact cement, better use the water base stuff.  The other kind will melt your styro into gunk.  Trust me!  I did it last week!

you can use "WeldWood" Contact cement. It'll take two layers on each side and test a piece to make sure you're not dealing with styrofoam (that will dissolve). What you're using looks more like Precision Board (PB) rather than Styrofoam
