BEACON HOLD The Foam Glue For Styrofoam,White, 59ml

Excellent product, easy applicator and works perfectly to adhere foam

Worked perfectly

Works but takes ages to dry though

Probably the best glue for EPO that I have used. It’s white, but dries clear. Maximum strength after 24 hours, and it seems very strong! It can be applied via a syringe with a blunt 1mm needle, so it’s possible to get it into places that other glues will not reach. Best of all, it’s water clean up!

Just glorified PVA glue, nothing special, tried using it to build an RC Airplane but the parts just peel apart from each other after the glue has dried.

This glue is very good 👍

Good

I've never in my lifetime of 36 years been compelled to send back a tube of glue, such is the misery I experienced using this extraordinarily disappointing and unfit-for-purpose adhesive. Supposedly for styrofoam, but turns out to be water-based! It takes so long to dry, and often it never dries fully because the water vapours cannot escape from a sealed joint, so the glue just stays tacky/sometimes liquid, even days after gluing a joint. Even when I did manage to get a joint that seemed stuck, it started pulling apart with only a touch of force. The best styrofoam adhesives are solvent-based for a reason, because they chemically WELD the two faces of the joint, and the joint ends up being stronger than the foam itself. This stuff doesn't even come close. Sorry Beacon - EPIC FAIL on this one. DO NOT BUY IF YOU WANT TO STICK STYROFOAM TOGETHER.

Does what I want and easy to use

I used this to glue open cell polyurethane foam to craft foam and the bond appears to be quite strong, though I'm not certain how durable it will be yet as the glue only just cured - but applying a little force to the glued seam gives me the impression that the open cell foam would tear before the glue itself let go. It does dry "clear", but reminds me of standard PVA glue in that it leaves an obvious, opaque glue dollop on the surface - easy to deal with though, just apply it sparingly so there isn't as much oozing out from the joint. I used a cheap paintbrush for this purpose and the brush washed clean easily and quickly with water and did not damage the brush. I should also note that this is not just PVA glue in a different branded package. I've used standard, white PVA glue on these types of foam before and it was nowhere near as strong and took several hours to dry - in contrast this glue dried within an hour. Standard PVA glue also saturated the open cell foam leaving it very stiff and unpliable. This glue remained on the surface of the open cell foam without penetrating it too deeply. Thus the surface became somewhat stiff, though not as stiff as standard PVA glue, but left the foam soft and mouldable throughout. Also, in response to a previous reviewer - on my tube of glue there was no hidden label underneath the one shown in the picture revealing a "Kids Choice Glue". Perhaps this buyers glue came from a different supplier.

This is very good for extra protection on your pinch hinge control surfaces on radio controlled aircraft. Just make sure that you have a very thin coat. If too much you're going to cause very bad issues with the moving. Adds years to your life without any damage. Strongly recommend

Used this stuff to fix my foam RC airplane after a crash, as well as on the build. Dries pretty clear and seems to be strong as well. The tube is a good size, maybe 5-6" long. The glue has the same consistency as white glue when it comes out of the tube. Cleans up with water very easily. I would purchase again.

Great product. Fast delivery.
