    Hi all i have to make some boxes out of foamex I’m guessing that they are about 200mmx200mm the question is from your experience what would be the best glue to use ?.

    Many Thanks

    Eurobond do a good range of adhesives, I use the penloc for acrylic and I have used it on Foamex for odd bits around the workshop but not sure if it is really suited to foamex type work. Worth giving Eurobond a call as they have always been very helpful when I have spoken to them.

    Stelmax is much much cheaper than anything you can buy from sign suppliers.
    We use it all the time for foamex.

    Martin, I am sure you are right but Eurobond aren’t a sign supplier, they supply adhesives and tapes to a wide range of industries. The penloc is the only one I have used but I know they have products for most sorts of application.

    go to your local hardware shop and get some polypipe glue, or equivalent, the same as you use to glue kitchen drain pipes etc. cures in a few minutes. costs pennies
    foamex is just PVC, so doesn’t need anything special
