Andy Green Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Its safe, as in it won't melt the foam, but not so sure it will stick well. Try a small piece. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Hargreaves - Moderator Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Hot glue (from a gun) works very well but you need to work quickly.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cantwell Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 lightweight depron, heavyweight epoxy, does not go together somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly boy3 Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Quite right Allan, I am carrying my "belt and braces" theory a bit too far. LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 It won't eat the foam, but it will stick better to cut faces than uncut faces. Depron's waxy surface can be a problem.I only use hot glue for fixing servos on foam. I use UHU Por contact adhesive for most joins. Foam safe cyano for speed, and polyurethane glue (like Gorilla Glue, but called Joiners Mate from Screwfix) for strength where the foaming action will be hidden. I know it's good because it takes at least a week to get it off your fingers if you make a mess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
