The Best Glue For Styrofoam And Foam [2023]

[@snug40pip]

I really appreciated you doing this test! I have a Styrofoam project I’m doing and you answered all my questions. Thank you God bless from Colorado.

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Glad it was helpful!

1. Elmer's ProBond Advanced 2. Titebond II Permium Wood Glue 3. Gorilla Glue Clear (Gel glue) Don't use superglue or Elmer's wood glue. Saved ya 7 minutes.

[@supermankent1041]

The Gorilla glue fell looks like the best of it was spread evenly over the entire surface. It was only a fine bead down the middle the other two spread out over a larger surface.

[@shsd7579]

im makign a prop sword and this was definetly very useful now i know to jsut use wood glue!

[@cris11368]

Excellent, thanks! Glad to know it just that easy. Would be interesting to see the three titebonds sidebyside and adding some clamping force.

[@ipman3564]

Excellent Demonstration... good camera work too ~---- Thanks !

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Thanks!

Thank you for the video it was just what I needed 💪🏽

Thank you very, very, very much for this presentation. You're saving people time and money.

I am in the process of building an outer space cosmic cat playroom - coffee movie room . So far I have a planetary wall that glows in the dark and gives the feeling of moving thru space but now am building the control panel wall from styrofoam.. This video answered my questions. I'm glad I looked it up!

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Good luck with the build!

[@PaulGruhn]

GREAT VIDEO!!!!

[@homesformeremortals5935]

Thanks This is Great

[@TaniChambers]

Thank you for making this! Helped tremendously in a bind.

[@johnkriete2152]

We almost had to go running all over town to find glue for foam. You saved the day! I had tite bond on hand and now she’s got that crap everywhere! Lol

[@rgrams1]

Since the Elmer’s Probond Advanced is not available, I tried a test just like yours with a different multi-surface glue … the Titebond Quick & Thick Multi-Surface Glue. I pitted it against a wood glue I keep around … Titebond III Ultimate Wood Glue (which is one step up from the Titebond II Premium that you tested. Both glues worked perfectly on the styrofoam. When I tried to separate they both tore the styrofoam apart with no separation at the glue joint. I did apply just enough glue to cover the entire test strip bottom when the pieces were pressed together. But the Titebond Quick & Thick was thicker, though, so the test piece did not slip around as much when applying pressure.

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Great info thank you!

[@rhaynehowlette5621]

This was a great testing video so the rest of us don't have to go through the struggle lol Thank you for sharing!!

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Glad it helped!

[@AliciaMaske-m8t]

Thank you so much for doing this video!! Very very helpful!! 💕👍👏

[@audreyladell]

thanks, simple vid was helpful.

[@OdinsCloud]

I have Titebond III, wondering how it will fare?

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Should be the same as titebond 2, just more waterproof

[@OdinsCloud]

@@HelpAtMyHome Thanks for the reply, i just tried it. I will give it to tomorrow, hopefully a good result

[@LuminairPrime]

Top tier content as always, thank you for sharing!! I would be curious to see adhesive comparisons with the volume of adhesive controlled.

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Yea I need to get some micro pipettes or something. The more I test these glues the more complex things are getting

[@davidmalawey]

I think adhesion is an easy job for these materials. Maybe the others perform better in 10 years? Or maybe it’s for control of the gap thickness between foam and wall? What assets should we worry about?

[@crystalcup244]

Great demonstration ❤ How about the difference in their price tags? 🤝

[@ericcarbonell9927]

Well selected amdes😢signed and carried out. Do you have a link to the Gorilla Guru?

[@platinumluvxoxo]

Mannn I wish I saw this before I tried Gorilla Spray Adhesive and E6000. Both totally ate away the styrofoam. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Thanks for this!!

[@rickl6697]

My only criticism of your test is you put a lot more glue on the 1st 2 (elmers II and elmerd pro bond) and way less on the GG clear. Considering the small size of that gg clear bead it may have been the best. Also it would ve n8ce to see the results after 24 hours rather than 4 days. Otherwise great video. I'm impressed with that probond and elmers titebond II.

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Thanks! Glue distribution and amount is definitely an issue for me in the testing. I’m still thinking how to best handle this!

[@squebler]

Good point; although with that tiny little bottle, I bet the GG is super expensive.

[@nothing5214]

Im trying to do a project and I have to attach EVA foam sheets to styrofoam but I don't know what to use. Will gorilla glue work to stick them together?

[@handichick]

What about your standard Elmer’s school glue?

[@ericcarbonell9927]

Idk but in my experience it’s even thinner than wood glue. That is works best for paper and construction paper.

[@pauldent3059]

Generally covered to which glue type to use but would have been a better test if you'd spread the glue over the piece and all were the same size, plus I'd have liked to see titebond 3 in there too as it's waterproof

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@CLIXPY]

What about hot glue

[@YanBarabash]

It will burn through

[@theway6493]

I have a question, would I be able to use that to glue rope onto the styrofoam?

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Rope is hard because it will absorb the glue. You might need something thicker like a hot glue gun for that.

[@theway6493]

@@HelpAtMyHome Thanks! I will try that

[@rickl6697]

Does it need good air flow to dry/cure. I need to glue a finished filon(thin fiberglass) skin to 1 1/2" styrofoam. There will be minimal exposure to the air. Some, but not in the open like your samples. Thanks for posting

[@HelpAtMyHome]

My understanding is that often the airflow is more for safe ventilation than curing. I think the open structure of the styrofoam means it can cure in a relatively closed space.

[@GlennInLaguna]

Your video made the Elmer's ProBond Advanced sell out. Can't find it anywhere. Wonder if they took it off the shelves for safety reasons or it is a discontinued item? Too bad, as I needed to glue some styrofoam and that stuff did great.

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Oh wow that’s incredibly annoying! I can’t find it either

[@doktorsaab]

Videos like these should include the generic names of ingredients of the product so one can use nearest alternatives in markets where these brands are not available.

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Great suggestion!

[@DBLEVE]

Mr lazy you expect people to do all the work for you.

[@BWCA12345]

I disagree. Too many other videos give you broad generalizations and then they don’t help.

[@rgrams1]

As mentioned earlier, can't find it anywhere! I am going to try a multi-surface glue from Titebond available at the home stores.

[@HelpAtMyHome]

Ugh yes, still not sure what happened with this glue.

[@ArnoldCastillo-k6c]

Where to buy that gorilla glue sir

[@HelpAtMyHome]

I think amazon should have it

[@Rosacorn]

Thx I needed this as my fursuit head has styrofoam ears :)

[@shsd7579]

thats cute good luck! what animal is ur fursona :3

[@auris_yo]

Hot glue pistol the best for me

[@MoonyMark]

Wow... I've learnt nothing there... So NO technical data at all.. JUST PULL IT..!!..

[@HelpAtMyHome]

What could be better than real-life testing?

[@ChonkTek]

Has anyone done this experiment but with rubber on styrofoam?

[@ChonkTek]

OK, I'm back to report that White Gorilla Glue is amazing for styrofoam to rubber!

[@solarsynapse]

No actual styrene glue like Hold The Foam, UHU Por, Weldbond, PL300???

[@HelpAtMyHome]

No, I didn’t get into anything specialized or single purpose. Maybe for the next video!

[@NelsonReyesJr]

4 or 5 days curing time? Cement will adhere in that tine frame. No one wl wait 4 to 5 days. Use a much shorter time period

[@HelpAtMyHome]

That’s a fair point!
