I was wondering if someone would know of a good glue to repair a foam "air Hog"? I'm sure that CA will eat the foam. Thanks alot, Merry Christmas.

....cheers, Tom....

....I've never used anything but 5 minute epoxy on foam.

FBD.

Great, thanks. I'll be mixing, my son is waiting paintely for a fix.

great planes makes a wonderful foam safe ca glue, i only use that glue on foam, but i have used epoxy and it worked as well, the foam safe ca works better though.

There is a stuff called UHU Creativ glue for Foam. From what I understand, it is available from art stores, or places that sell arts and crafts. Works very well on foam.

Yes, UHU Creative glue is terrific stuff and can be found at Michaels stores. I haven't found it anywhere else yet.

The Foam safe CA glue you can get at Hobby Stores is very user friendly and with the activator is good to go in about 2min. If not that Hot Glue Gun. Also very quick for the
repair of Foam. These are both quick and easy.

I've used foam safe CA, actually just odorless CA, and it works, but the stuff is brittle. Repairs with the UHU glue tend to hold up better over time. It's cheaper too. Try it, you will probably like it better than CA unless you need an instant set. UHU will take a few minutes, maybe 10 to 15 min to be set well enough to use.

Thanks everyon for the help, all good ideas, I think I'll get some oderless ca and some uhu glue and do a little experimenting. My son is 9 so I'm sure I'll be doing lots of repairing.
Cheers

Tom: Take a look at lightflite.com They have the 'bug' which is pretty much assembled with blenderm tape and UHU. They swear by it, and I"ve used it. Very good stuff.
