How to glue/join styrofoam
Whats the best way to glue blue styrofoam together, all the usual suspects just melt the stuff. My next choice us car body filler but before I nip out
and buy some, someone might know better?

Depends how strong you want it... PVA was recommended on a recent modelmaking course... Didn't try it though I was more interested in the
styrene!

copydex, availiable from most stationers, model aircraft people use it to joint foam wings, paint both surfaces, leave to nearly dry, put together,
there forever

I used latex contact cement when I glued pieces of seat foam together and it was non corosive to that kind of foam.

Spray glue like carpet fitters use might be worth a try. Spray some on both items and let it go tacky then whack it together like evo stick.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

glue
I'd agree with copydex. I used to join wings together with a good quality PVA glue as well. Go for the waterproof type. Very strong, I never had
a wing failure with this method
"just like that !"
