I bought Everglue extra strong specifically made for Z-foam. My Apprentice broke the wing and tail. I'm lucky it's a clean cut and I'm using 4 bamboo sticks and ordered 3d tape for the ailerons. I prepared everything and placed a little drop of glue on the inside but I'm a little nervous about gluing the plane.

[@MotionRC]

Nervous it won't hold? Nervous it will damage it? I am not sure what type of glue Everglue is, but I would definitely test it on a hidden piece of foam on your plane first. The wrong CA will eat the foam. So try a drop on a space of foam inside a cavity and see what happens.

Good info especially for us beginners. 👍

[@MotionRC]

Glad it was helpful!

What can I use to bond 2 pieces of plastic so I won't ever come off

[@victorrcjets7660]

A redo i guess. Thanks for stocking them!

[@MotionRC]

Yeah, misspelled Cyanoacrylate. Easier to just re-upload

[@chksix]

All basic, but great stuff for the beginner. I never figured out why they put blue threadlocker in a red bottle.

[@MotionRC]

hahaha. Like how we drive on the parkway and park on the driveway

[@bobturner3388]

It was good to hear everything to verify my beliefs

My Beacon Foam Tac Adhesive has gotten pretty thick from just sitting around like most glues do. Is there anything I can use to dilute it down so that it will at least pour out a little better? Thanks.

[@rqlk]

I have a very small foam rc plane that probably weighs only an ounce or two and it has a couple tears from a crash, and I was wondering if any foam friendly glue would weigh it down and make it fly worse, or if it won’t make a difference. Thanks

Nice video

[@eduardocastillo2087]

What do you use to glue the jet canopies for foam and fiber glass? thanks

[@MotionRC]

For a fiberglass canopy I'd use canopy glue, but for a plastic canopy on a foamie I use foam tac. Never use CA as it will fog up the plastic

[@emilgabl9069]

I’ve got a Conscendo Evolution and the front section broke off after a cartwheel...which glue choice would be best to use?

[@MotionRC]

for EPO foam, i'd use foam safe CA

[@SasquatchPNW]

You mean I can't just hot glue everything together and expect the same results?

[@MotionRC]

hahaha. That works sometimes too!

[@ludwigvanzappa9548]

Thank you for sharing ! What kind of foam is in foamboard ? Depron ?

[@MotionRC]

believe so. It is the most fragile type of foam inside the covering

[@OLDx666]

What epoxy is stronger?

[@MotionRC]

The longer the cure time, the stronger the epoxy.

[@OLDx666]

@@MotionRC is this statement always true?

[@OLDx666]

@@MotionRC what if there are 2 different brands (very different)

[@MotionRC]

@@OLDx666 Hard to say, but epoxy is epoxy. Its just a chemical reaction, so don't really see how one brand can really differentiate from another. I've used many brands epoxies and can't tell the difference. But yes, a longer curing epoxy is stronger than a shorter cure time epoxy. Since it takes more time to cure, it is able to soak and penetrate the wood more to create a tighter bond. Like I would use 30 min epoxy on a balsa kit for the structural connections and a shorter cure for the little peripheral pieces like pilot figure, guns, antennae's etc

All of my glue dries up. Every... Frikin.... Time....
