Question about using 1" foam board

The WS foam sheets appear to be the <b>expanded</b> white "beadboard" type. It is not very durable, hence WS's recommendation of plaster cloth over the top. <br /> <br />If you use <b>extruded</b> styrofoam (comes in pink or blue), you will not need the plastercloth, as it is much stronger and more resistent to dents. <br /> <br />Guys at the local modular club recommend the Gorilla Glue (polyurethane) for all applications involving joining foam to foam, or foam to something else (cork, plywood, etc). However, it does need moisture to cure properly, so you should wet one side lightly before joining - especially foam to foam, which has no natural moisture content. <br /> <br />Andrew <br />
