Default Thin CA and Styrofoam Lining

Ouch. I dripped some CA on the styrofoam lining on the inside of my T-34 fuse. Destroyed it. What can I do now?

Thanks

Hi Gary,

Just cut out the damaged area and glue in a new pice of foam w/ gorilla glue. Use a pice of foam from any foam packing you may have around.

No, just fill the area with some of that super-light spackling compound. It works great for repairing foam.

gary,

The spackle works great. Have used it for years. And get foam-safe CA.

Ouch that's harsh! The spackling does work great for small areas. I guess I was thinking he melted a large area from a spill.

I have repaired some VERY large foam areas with this stuff and it worked out great. Mind you, I do NOT like to use it as wood filler - I tried it for that when it first hit the market and I didn't like the results. But then one day I needed to do a repair to foam and I thought it might be just the thing to use. It worked GREAT! And I've been using it to repair foam ever since.
