    Good glue for foamcore

    I want to glue some of my foamcore sheets back to back. What is a good glue for this? I won't need to reposition or remove it.

    How big?

    If not too big, how about rubber cement? Coat both sides, let them almost dry, then put them together. Should be permanent.

    I use 3M 3/4" double sided mounting tape. A good trick is to mount so that curve sides are opposite face to face that way they pull each other flat.

    Contact cement does the job but the foam needs to be aerated for a day or so to lose the vapors.

    I once met a man who built finely detailed full size mock-ups of helicopter cockpits out of foamcore for Boeing. He was an artist. He used hot melt glue almost exclusively. When I tried it, it was a mess. but I was impatient.

    I built several pinhole cameras out of foam board and Gorilla Glue. The foam board gave up before the glue joints did. Good luck!
