Glue
 

Does anyone here know what is the best glue to use for foam bodied planes? Mine is made of styrofoam.

I know that some of the fomies that I have (Sapac) sends a tube of glue, looks like E6000. I can't use CA, so I can't tell you how well that works.

Foam friendly CA, wood glue, epoxy, Gorilla glue. Most people use foam friendly CA because it's light weight. But carpenter's wood glue works well also. Gorilla glue is messy and epoxy is heavy. But they all work.

Thanks for the reply. I have plenty of epoxy and carpenters wood glue. I was just curious if there was a certain type of glue I had to use for styrofoam.

i have used elemers all (the white, non school, glue) for non important parts and it has worked fine, epoxy for the rest

One suggestion. If you are going to use tape (blenderm for instance) for hinges, put a layer of glue across the area that you are going to put the tape over the styrofoam. There is a great product called UHU Creativ’ Craft Glue for Styrofoam available at Michaels. It's flexible and very "sticky". Just run a bead along the hinge area surface where the tape goes, then after it sets up, put the tape on it. Holds great.
