Thank you friends for your suggestion . But araldite will eat foam or not ... And yeah it take soo much of time to dry :( Any other option for joining.. fast and quick.. Title: Re: how to join a foam? Post by: topalle on July 29, 2014, 10:09:41 AM araldite klear takes 5 minutes to dry...no it does'nt eat foam...
it has a slightly fishy smell when drying... Title: Re: how to join a foam? Post by: topalle on July 29, 2014, 10:10:46 AM feviquick or cyano does eat some foam but if its foam board ( paper backed foam) then its ok
Title: Re: how to join a foam? Post by: sahil007 on July 29, 2014, 10:22:10 AM broo....itold bout fevitite.....its similar to araldite :) ;)
Title: Re: how to join a foam? Post by: desachristopher on August 16, 2014, 06:57:32 PM try flex kwik, cheaper then fevi quick, and safe for foamboard, I use the same

:o Post a pic of foam you are using Title: Re: how to join a foam? Post by: RCNeil21 on August 16, 2014, 10:58:41 PM Yes arun bhaiya is right it flex kwik does eat up foam.
Though i found that it becomes like medium CA after expiry date and can be used on depron for joints which dont require high strength. It doesnt react as fast after expiry date but hardens and gives same clear hard residue. So can be used for general purpose use on depron. But only after expiry date when it has turned into Medium CA consistency. Instead of araldite klear i suggest bondtite same thing minus the smell but gives a bond of same strength if not greater. Title: Re: how to join a foam? Post by: Nik on August 16, 2014, 11:22:55 PM Still I never try flex kwik on foam board.. I always use hot glue and fevicol marine..
