Default Glue for foamies?

I'm old to r/c, but new to the foam airplanes. Can you use regular CA on EPO foam, or must you use "foam safe"? Also, what other adhesives are good for EPO foam?

I think you can use regular ca on epo but I'd test a drop in a hidden area first. Lot's of guys swear by Gorilla Glue for foamies (I'm one) so you might swing by home depot or tru-value and buy a small bottle. The Gorilla Glue expands while is cures so a little goes a long way.

Foam Tack is a good one.

You need to use "Foam Safe" with EPO foam. Regular CA will eat the foam.

BSI industries Foam Glue. Found it at Hobby Lobby craft stores. Haven't seen it in Hobby shops yet. Absolutely the best, better than Foam Tac. And EPO requires Foam Safe CA, as mentioned. Only EPP gets away with regular CA.
