Plummet Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I know that this has been asked before, but I have seen a lot of new product names on the market. SO... We all know that the product always recommended for depron is UHU POR, but this is not available in the average hardware shop or builders merchants. Can folk reccommend other products suitable for gluing depron? Plummet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hopkin Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Foam Carpet Glue works well - but I have only seen/used it from spray cans and its "expletive deleted" messy (like mutant silly string) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxfan Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Boyes sell Por and so do a lot of "craft" shops, or you can get it on ebay I'm told. MrTin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean the UHU in the yellow boxes, it's more like the old balsa cement, (even smells the same), than UHU Por. It does melt most foams, I tried.

Dave Hopkin Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Ordinary UHU is a great way to create "modern abstract art" from most foam..... as are a lot of other bostik type contact glues..... and that seems to cover most poundshop contact glues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin lane Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Lumberjack adhesive from Toolstation, it dries in 5 minutes with just a little foaming. only problem you have to buy 1 litre. Kevin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin. Is that a fast drying version of (the original) Gorilla Glue? And how much less foaming than GG?

kevin lane Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Very similar but to my mind a lot less messy than GG . Providing its used sparingly it will just leave a feint line where it foams, it can also be used as a contact adhesive if you let it dry a few minutes before assembly.

Plummet Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 I was wondering about the foaming PU glues. I know that you have to clamp wooden joints well so that the foaming does not push the joint apart. Would masking tape provide enough clamping action with depron to avoid distortion?

Dave Hopkin Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Plummet - thats how I use it, bit I always try and ensure there is some void available for the foam expansion to flow into - Masking tape is also a way to keep GG down where you want it and reduce the eruptions avove the surface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin lane Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I have very few problems but I do transfer the glue to a bottle with a very fine nozzle. I make lots of foam jets with the long pointed fuselage made up of about 6/8 sections glued on the 6mm edge. I find the blue low tack masking tape provides adequate hold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eflightray Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 May have found a useful CA for Depron in Poundland. It's a small bottle of CA plus a spray can of kicker, and comes in a box if you're looking for some -- **LINK** So far I have only tried small test pieces. 6mm on edge, and 2mm to 2mm overlapped. A few drops of CA on one piece and a spray of the kicker on the other piece, a quick press together and seems to give a very strong join. Could not see any 'eating' of the Depron. Worth a consideration, and a few more tests. Ray.
