My favorite is the Gorilla glue that foams. Don't wet the surface if you have some humidity in the air. You can also mix a drop of water into the blob of glue, and then spread it on the joints.
With gorilla glue clear you are only supposed to spray with water if one surface is non porous like glass or metal or ceramic etc . You should probably test it again without water if doing foam to foam to see how it goes. I've had completely different results using gorilla glue clear on foam to foam
Use e6000 and regular Ca on all epp and epo builds and repairs...i like gorilla gel lately...only have 2 eps foam planes which can be fixed with contact cement or epoxy.
All of these glues appear to be more than strong enough for foam EPO RC plane repair. Hot glue is very inexpensive and for all intents and purposes, the best deal for your money. Some of these other brand name glues put out especially for foam repair are atrociously overpriced and not worth the money frankly.
I'm means a tune of UHU Por is £2.50 and E6000 is maybe £6 on a plane that's probably £250+ plus with the electronics doesn't seem crazy money to me. Never built an EPO model always been EPP for me but I'd guess there's no much difference in the results. For flat surfaces I'd take UHU Por over hot glue everyday of the week, I think you get a better (and lighter) join. Like a bit if hot glue for rough repairs sometime though. 👍
@@kwadology587 Interesting. I don't get those particular glues here in Canada but I have tried many from the hobby shop by specific brand names. They do all work albeit not as quickly for my purposes as basic hot glue. Broken plastic nose cowlings won't repair with the quick bonding glues so I also use hot glue for them. I like how it expands into the joints for major foam breaks but as it expands, you do have to follow up quickly to remove the excess glue before it hardens. It's also a little quick to bond which doesn't give you much time to work, but a little practice and I have found (for me anyway) it pretty much replaces the more expensive specialty glues. But ...hey ...whatever works !!
Wtf!!?? What religious/political garbage !!?? Are you watching my video or some UA-cam advert that's UA-cam have slapped on the beginning? It's only 11mins long, skip to the end if you like. I can assure you there's no religious or political comments in my video, so no clue what you're ranting about!?!
So are you sure the E6000 is actually e6000.. i tested the e6000 on a piece of foam and it just ate it up.. so ya don't use e6000 on foam planes unless you want s melted mess
@@kwadology587 well unless my habus wing isn't actually epp foam.. then yes I'm positive I used it on epp foam.. thats why I'm kinda laughing right now.. good thing I didn't just giver and use it on my timbers landing gear .the habu wing was garbage anyways. But im surprised it melted

This is a great test and demonstration of different adhesive glues!!
Thank you!!
One thing to know about hot glue joints is that they can easily be separated with a couple drops of alcohol
never knew that
cool

Thank's for taking the time to do that, very useful info.👍

Thats interesting, ill give it a go thanks.

So, can I use the 5 min epoxy?
Thanks for the nice video mate, i like and will help me to decide the glue will be used
Thanks for this, just what I was looking for.
Thankyou for taking the time to make this video.....as is life tooo many options.... think I'll continue with uhu por 😎😁
Thank you, very helpful
Thanks 🙏🏼 very informative and great help choosing right one for epp
I would like a product label at the end. You did very well overall. Is this eep - to eep ?
Sorry 6 month delay in replying, missed this. Yes it's EPP to EPP
I like the test results of E6000 and Stanley hot glue
I had the same results with gorilla glue clear.
What is the contact adhesive used? Comom contact adhesive like used in shoes?
awesome video, thank you!
Where do you buy EPP in plates for RC model airplanes?
Good test. Paraflightjoe likes.🤪👍😄
What was the first glue you used?
I never trust hot glue on my builds or repairs...where i live is very hot and humid...yes its fast,but wont last imo...also heavy..
Yeah I'm not a hot glue fan at all, I use it in a pinch for a quick fix at a wing race if I have to.
Do you not reccomend foam tac, or foam to foam?
Please, can I use 5 min epoxy??
Have you tried regular UHU?
No I haven't, I'm not sure if it's safe to use on EPP or would dissolve it.
this was usefull thank you
How can you paint EPP foam?
spray paint
Foam safe paint. Or water-based. Usually NOT spray paint.
I thought gorrila clear was a contact glue??
No its not. Only spread it on one surface and apply pressure while it dries. Takes a couple of hours to set.
5 star vid that

I have no idea what you're talking about. I even watched the video again and heard nothing of the sort. Do you just enjoy criticizing people??

Yes a lot of people use E6000 on EPP, definitely doesn't melt it. Are you sure it was EPP foam you used it on, not something else?
