Default Re: Glue for EPP Super zoom XXL

Goop works fine on EPP. UHU will do about the same it's just a little lighter. With EPP you can use any glue, it's impervious. The stickier ones tend to bend instead of tear at the joint. CA will rip around the joint, too brittle. My 2 cents. Hot glue will do for quick field repairs too. Test it on the wheel pants or just a dab on a hidden spot to make sure, but I've done several EPP planes with Goop and UHU. I like the UHU better. Goop tends to dry faster, UHU usually takes a full day to fully cure.

Do not USE Goop for bonding stryrofoam or paper products" .... does it mean i cannot use it on my EPP... i dont have any scrap so i cannot test it. is Epoxy or UH por better for this application? thanks...
