Some construction adhesives specify that they can be used with polystyrene foam insulation. So those are an option also.

As for your Tear Drop Trailer that is Awsome but is there a problem with it being blown around and unstable just as with conventional trailers in cross-windy conditions.

Contact cement!

Not saying what kind of foam and not what kind of glue....wood glue???? What???? PU, PVA?????

Did you lacquer the dowels? We made this all the way to the point of gluing in the dowels (thank you for this video - super easy!) but wondering if the dowels need lacquer since the donuts will make them “dirty”??

Very cool.

Love how people with money get to practice living with little.. Maybe try living with little money and then i’ll be impressed.

How difficult would it be to add a link-bar to the cheap Amazon one? ...if possible that seems like it could be a sensible solution.

I'm building a mini camper to combat homelessness.... Now I'm a retired diesel/hydraulic mechanic and with a life long interest in my own construction projects but THIS scares me to death. It looks hella expensive and just complicated. I've watched it about 4 times and I still don't know what my first step would be! Please please tell me there's a simpler and cheaper way. I love your work. It's top notch as far as I can tell but let's be honest here. Most of us don't have this kind of 💰

Woowww, dat is zo geweldig om met een Vespa te kunnen reizen en kamperen. Ik heb 3 Vespa's. Very super!

PS, really cool trailers, loved your first one and this one is just plain cute. Love to tow it with my electric bike, no peddles

Late to the party too but yeah, mechanical bond is most important. There is a reason they call it closed cell foam, it doesn't absorb anything. You have to sand and poke little holes in it so the glue can get in. Built many foam structures and epoxy, not the old good epoxy that has nasty solvents but the latest gen of "Safety" epoxies (West Systems etc.) hands down the best. If you need to sand seams Your joe wood glue (TiteBond) and filled with microbeads. I've always used real fiberglass but I've also done a few canoes that use the old canvas technique, yep nothing new about it and there's a reason to move to real glass but good on ya for keeping the tradition. If you want a little bit more strength you can always use polyester cloth and polyurethane paint, like the water base Varathane.

I saw one perso use foam insulation as a glue. He acted like it worked

Love this video.. Teaching the grandkids how to build with trash. My plan was to make a form out of foam then make the filler so the little kids can build a chair ..no power tools just a rolling pin

3M spray adhesive ........It adheres as well as ANY other adhesive and because it's spray on it's totally easy to use no muss no fuss.

Could you tell me the width of your passage way entering your rig? I want to build out a cabinet that sticks out in the passageway but not sure what works. Also, where did you get your ladder? I just washed my Nissan and that girl is high so I think a ladder would be great. Do you have a video for installing walls? Thanks

Great video!! Thanks!

I need to know more about the poor mans fiberglass with the titebond wood glue!!!??? What is the fabric? What is the ironing? Do you have a link to this? Also, I'm struggling how you "bent" the pink foamboard!!?? I watched it but I can't believe it. Did t You cut slits in it to bend it? How did it not snap?. I need to see a more in depth video tutorial on the poor mans fiberglassing and the bending of the pink foamboard. Please!.

50/50 bar top epoxy is excellent for bonding insulating foam. I cannot stress that fact enough! Seriously! It’s expensive but superior to all else for your application.

Finger joints are better.

The spy hole is genius 💡💡

You could totally make a living from this. I would hire your services in a heartbeat. Makes me wish I paid attention in Carpentry class at school 😭🤣❤️💛💚🖤👑

👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽😍😍😍👑💯❤️💛💚🖤

This woman is amazing 😍😍😍. Literally inspired me to start looking for a van. The patience and skills are top tier. 👌🏽💯❤️💛💚🖤

Why would you not just buy the foam glue that designed to be used with this foam. Like PM300 for example. Companies like 3M don’t make a foam that you can’t have the proper installation for.

Hello, I really like this build video. I am considering buying the SawStop contractor saw and have a very small space for my shop. Organized storage is so important for a small shop. Nice job! Thank you for the great content and inspiration.

this damn video sucks...why is it always one of the first YT videos...its a joke

Silicone?

So many reasons not to build a foam camper. It is insulation not a strucural material. All of the talk about using epoxies and fiber glass are because these provide the structure to hold the insulation.

nice build!

So there was not a layer of glue on top of canvas too? A lot of videos out there layer on glue on top of the canvas before the paint...

She never heard about screws. How odd...

Tight bond ultimate wood glue wood to wood the best

Where can I find plans to build one myself. I like some kind of blueprint to follow

Great tests, thank you!!!!

Why don't people use Titebond 3 as it's actually waterproof, not water resistant?

nice

Is there a reason why no one who does these foam board buildups post links to the type of foam they use

Adrain Crossroad

Great stuff construction foam is the way to go.

I'm so impressed and cute channel name! 😀

Just love it! ❤

Hopefully you still monitor these comments. Is there any tricks or issues with cutting in more windows later on after the pmf has been done? I have to build my trailer outside so I am trying to weather proof it right now. As winters coming.

ever thought about selling those campers? Id def buy one

Good video about gluing foam. This is useful for me. Most of us are not willing to go through that much work, even if we need to know. As you know, there are many ways to skin a cat. You can glue foam with hot glues that normally melt foam by priming foam with latex paint, the paint will keep the foam from melting. Depending on the heat of the glue, you need up to 5 coats of latex on the bare foam. This works perfect when using fiberglass resin to glue foam or for fiber glassing large surfaces of foam because the wet fiberglass melts unprimed with latex foam.

Van turned out great! What flares did you use for both sides of the bed?

How do you make it slide without turning. I just got one to restore but it's not sliding freely

What ac unit did you use and do you like it?

Very impressive!

Appreciate your time explaining the differences in brands of adhesives and their effectiveness 😎👍
