How To Glue Foam for Village Display Platforms

In this video I'll discuss what kinds of glue are best for sticking two sheets of foam together to make a larger display platform, and I'll demonstrate the technique I use to do the sticking.
P.S. I forgot to note something important about HWFF Foam Fusion! It's formulated specifically to be more easily cut with a hot wire tool after drying. This is very useful in some situations like carving a few pieces that have already been glued together.

Thanks for watching!

I’ve found your videos very helpful and you’re rather a pleasant person to watch. I know that may sound strange, but some people just come across with a more genuine type personality than others.

[@5monkeystv50]

Thank you so much for this video! It really saves me trial and error. I'm hoping to dive into my first foam project and your guidance is awesome!

[@evletagruber3694]

I really appreciate your videos. You have really helped me. I am making my first carved platform Halloween Village and I am glad I didn't have to figure this stuff out by myself.

[@CreativeThinking52]

Very informative. Thank you for sharing. I'm working on a Happy Halloween fairy garden. Have a great day. Fully view video.👍

[@sandramoreno5265]

[@MrKeithHenry]

Man, glueing 2 2inch sheets together 2x3feet in size with the Elmer's glue all and it's taking forever to cure, how long does it take?!?!!

[@zombiethulhu]

Hey man loving these beginner foam craft tutorials! Where were you a year ago when i was starting with this hobby!? Keep making great content!

[@susan1098]

The tacky glue didn’t work for me. My foam pieces wouldn’t stick.

[@juliel8720]

what did you use

[@stevenspainhower5493]

Great video! I found it while searching for "How to glue memory foam pads together " for a mattress. Would your recommendations be the same?

[@savannarodriguez66]

Love these videos they’re SO helpful! Any Christmas ones coming soon? Super excited to also learn how to make ice and snow!

[@VillageVignettes]

Thank you! Actually my first snow video is almost ready to post. Stay tuned!

[@savannarodriguez66]

Village Vignettes can’t wait!!!

[@susan1098]

Would sand paper work like the metal brush?

[@AniShorts321]

I am so done with my group coz they kept on insisting to use rugby when we could've just used this (¬_¬)

[@garyshirinian]

Thx for sharing. I'm guessing that I can also use the same glue with whit styrofoam. I want to make Christmas village platforms. Thx again

[@larryleehensel1016]

I don't know why people aren't trying "Sculpt or Coat." It's the best adhesive I've found for foam. It's Non-Toxic, has Little or No Shrinkage, Air Dry, Easy Storage--you can use it as a textural element, and you can paint it as well. A 2 lb. tub costs about $20. The only down side is that it takes a while to dry, but I've found it twice as strong as Elmer's.

Thanks u so much I really need glue for fursuit head thanks so much you the best best best ever!!!!

[@soloperformer5598]

I've just started down this path in my attempt to build large flat panel styrofoam speakers. I started with 3m Super 77 and glued two 30x20x3 cm sheets together along the 30cm edge. After leaving them to cure overnight I found that I was unable to separate them with my bare hands. I suspect if I put the joint over an edge and hit the overhanging piece really hard then it might break. Conclusion: this more than meets my requirements.

[@vilhelmstein2091]

I'm just getting into this and I used what I had laying around the house. Ended up using hot glue and it worked, but next time I'll get the Elmer's. I desperately need a hot wire cutting tool, using the razor blade even with a fresh blade isn't as clean.

[@donnacamacho8801]

Thank you so much! I’m watching all your videos several times as I practice with some foam.

[@zsuzsannamatalucci4318]

Great advice! Thank you! Any ideas to glue foam beads to Mason Jars????

[@TrueBlueYou]

Do any of these glue metal to Styrofoam? What would you recommend?

[@marcisaacs9407]

How strong is the bond? Where does the water in the glue get off too?

[@susan1098]

What about “reptile glue” ? Would that work on foam?

[@santhoshA350]

Which glue is best for xps 5mm foam sheet

[@maviskankam7035]

Am in Ghana and I need a foam glue is it common in Ghana

[@DemaJane]

Very helpful

[@InTheEndOnlykindnessMatters]

Great tutorial, right to the point .

[@ericrasmussen6218]

Question - Does Elmers work just as well on pours foam made by FloraCraft? Thanks

[@VillageVignettes]

Eric Rasmussen as far as I know FloraCraft sells white rigid foam and also the soft green foam. I’m sure Elmer’s would work fine for the white stuff but I’ve never tried it on the green stuff. I stay as far away from that foam as I can because it’s far too soft for my purposes.

[@mishymish6800]

Thank you

[@girlinthehouse3262]

Nice !

[@SillyGoose2024]

Your arms are hairy. Are you a gorilla? If yes, what about your glue?
