Reno Racer Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 On EPO such as Multiplex's Elapor and that used on the Durafly Vampire, i've used regular CA, with no issues. Strong Bond and no foam melting. This only works on EPO. In the past, i've also used UHU Por with great success, following the instructions using as a contact adhesive and its just as good as CA.

Pete B Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Any normal cyano, Greg, don't use 'foam-safe' - it does not work well on EPO. Save the 'foam-safe' for EPS, or polystyrene. Plenty of modelling brands out there such as Zap but most commercial cyano works fine. Even 'pound shop' cyano....it would seem! You can get it in various viscosities. The thicker it is, the slower it tends to bond. If you go for thin cayano, it goes really fast - you need to have the pieces joined then allow capillary action to take the thin cyano into the joint. Medium and thin cyano should cover most applications. As Reno says, UHU-POR is a good contact adhesive, too Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the larger Radjet 800 then medium viscosity cyano will do the trick nicely. My preferred adhesive for all EPO type foams is Multiplex's Zacki. It might be dearer than most others, but it is very good stuff. If it's the smaller Radjet 420, then foam safe cyano or UHU Por is your only option.

It may seem strong, but it will not hold under high stress. Only use cyano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Minimun is depron (which I think it is), then use FOAM SAFE cyano. Normal stuff will melt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
