Re: [VFB] Spray Adhesive for Craft Foam

Hey crew. The easiest way to put things together with any kind of cement that bonds on contact is to wait until the pieces are dry to the touch. You then place newspaper or old computer paper or round wooden dowels or even flat wooden sticks for that matter, between to two layers. Line up the pieces very carefully, press the edges together. Then pull out the paper or wood and smooth the two pieces together.
That is the way that you build a counter top or table top using Formica or WilsonArt laminates.

Matt,

The spray adhesive John recommended works well.  I have used rubber cement (problem is that you have to get the pieces together at just the right time), and contact cements.  Lately I have been using water based contact cement.  After allowing the two pieces of foam to tack up and putting some weight on the foam, the stuff is completely water resistant.

I am going to start tying up some foam bugs and was curious what everyone
thought was the best way to glue two sheets of foam together, prior to using
my foam cutters (e.g. chernobl bodies and hoppers). I have some Krylon
Easy-Tack Repositional Adhesive (that is all the craft shop had), and it
doesn't seem to hold too well. What do you guys recommend.

Thanks,
