In your experiences what is the best way to glue plastic to styrafoam? (minis to bases) I am trying to use styrafoam to dress up some bases and was wondering before i started trying different ways/ types of glue what would be the best way to go. I know superglue would melt the styrafoam, what would give me the strongest hold?
You'd need to 'clad' the styro in something to get any decent glue to allow a good bond between the styrofoam and plastic.
Cardboard can be glued to the styrofoam with pva - when you let it dry properly it will stay there. When it is dry, you can use polycement (regular model glue) to glue plastic to cardboard (it can take a while, but it WILL work). Superglue will also work with this method.
I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...
... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.
try hot glue ( aka hot glue gun) works pretty well, It also depends on the type of styrofoam too . If its the pink stuff your ok buyt the white stuff your not.
