What kind of glue will glue styrofoam ?

19 years ago

Styrofoam to styrofoam ? It doesn't have to be permanent - just so it hold layers of it together while I'm working on it. Tacky glue ? E-6000 ? It's been so long since I worked with the Sfoam - I can't remember !

:) spray adhesive seems to work just fine for me.

works on styro and the pink insullation foam as well.

spray both sides, and slap together.

My handyman recommended me Liquid Nails for exterior/interior. From my experience, it bonds really really well. I have tried other glues, and this one in the best IMO. Good luck! ~Natalie

>>And don't use drywall screws. They're not strong enough for the application. Get some deck screws, at the minimum.Drywall screws will work 100%, especially when you glue another thin piece on top, the glue is giving you the holding power. When you screw a thin piece on top, dry wall screws have threads all the way to the head, it will still pull the two pieces together, I like them allot better in this sort of application when short screws are needed like here!.....actually they have better grip then deck screws and cheaper. >>What's the most gap between the top of the tile, and the top of the flange I can have before I need to be worried that the toilet won't seat properly?I think your system is the same there then it is here in Canada,?... are you using the wax gasket? If so..... Because I asked this same question to the local hardware store and the guy stated, you can put two wax gasket on top of each other. Perhaps ask the same question in your local store.

You need to ask the flooring manufacturer this question for warranty purposes. But, for wood floaters it is normally a type of yellow wood glue like Titebond II. Some companies have their own private label brand they want you to use.

"mix two tubes together" That is very likely epoxy. The short setting epoxy ('5 minute') is often not very waterproof, but this does not sound like a 'wet' application.

hi , first time posting here , I spend as much time with this stuff as anything i will be here more often.
I actually glue foam for a living sort of we use white styro. blocks and wedges and back pads for lg. crates to pack windshields in .and I have tryed for yrs. to think of anything I could do with it at home .and hot glue is what is best the tacky spray works also but you need to watch it because some glues just melt styro. anythin solvent based, the glue machine was broke once and I used liquid nails oppps ate right through it while it was supporting a few 100 lbs of glass .
but a good shot of hot glue and stick 2 pcs togetherwait a few and your done . I know places that are in every metro area coast to coast that are probably overflowing in material like this and all you would have to do is ask .

Speaking of styrofoam, have you noticed the cute things they have been making out of styrofoam, decorative paper, silk flowers and reindeer moss? In the new issue of Country Marketplace and Crafts'n Things magazine there are some cute things to make. Sorry I got off the subject of glue.

If you're just looking for a temporary hold, why not use toothpicks? They work just fine.

My name is James, I do Fiberglass Fabrication. The plug molds we use are made from Styrofoam, which are cast in fiberglass for a master mold. The foam needs to be glued and glued securely for it will be cut by hand or on a CNC machine.

The only adhesion that works and is permanent is:
Ã¢ÂÂGlidden GripperÃ¢ÂÂ itÃ¢ÂÂs a white paint primer!

This bonds the panels together so strong, it can not be taken apart. Makes a toolÃ¢ÂÂable & sandÃ¢ÂÂable adhesion.
No melting

This is the only foam glue needed for any application, unless you need it to come apart

Not so good is Ã¢ÂÂGreat StuffÃ¢ÂÂ if you need a foam bead around the outside of your work, but messy and not cost effective , it has an short open shelf life

I have been working with foam boards, pour foam, closed cel foam for some time

I am using Gorilla Original glue for sticking styrofoam. It is good to stick styrofoam to styrofoam or styrofoam to other objects. It is a white glue that can not leave the spot after drying it.
