    ANY Glues for Styrofoam?

    I know most don't work to well or even melt the styrofoam. I need to glue the tail back on a small glider back together for my son. Probably not worth the effort, but he didn't even get to fly it.

    Russ, go to www.thistothat.com for a few suggestions. (It's a handy site to bookmark, too.)

    There are construction adhesives specifically made for styrofoam--i.e. gluing it to walls and such. You can probably get a small tube at the BORG. You might need to put a dab near the front of similar size to balance the weight.

    Use fabric adhesive, available at JoAnn's.

    Not sure it would work; but something a lot iof folks already have around the house.........silicone caulk for windows and tubs. I bet a thin dab of that stuff would work??

    Epoxy

    I buily a homebuilt aircraft ( Long-EZ ) it is mostly made of foam.

    Many types of foam are used in this aircraft but the wings are made of Styrofoam.

    Use some 5 minute epoxy for your foam repair.
