Glue Suggestions
Posted by PJM20 on Tuesday, July 12, 2011 1:02 PM

Hello, I'm about to start scratchbuilding/kitbashing a station for my railroad that has a base made of styrofoam from some science kit a I got awhile ago. I will be using styrene and cedar to support the structure to the frame and will be using cedar for all the cosmetic work. What type of glue would bond styrene, styrofoam and wood together and be weather resistant if there is such a glue. Thank you for all your help. - Peter
