Bonding Styrene

Posted by Anonymous on Friday, June 6, 2003 10:49 AM

I am starting to build my streets on my HO layout. I have to bond some sheet stryene to the blue foam base. Any ideas on what would work best to bond these two together?

Thanks,
Randy

"Best" is not practical to advise; what will work?

Alleene's Tacky Glue (craft section at Wal-mart and other stores) reworkable.

Liquid Nails for Projects (Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, etc) pernament, very strong.

epoxy; pernament, very strong.

cyanopoxy; ditto

contact cement
