FOAM-CURE is a silicone based adhesive that works very well on EPP and EPO foams. It is crystal clear and cures to a more flexible consistency than CA. It is, however, not instant bonding like CA and there is no accelerator to speed it’s curing. To obtain a faster initial bond when bonding two pieces, FOAM-CURE can be applied to one piece and after the two are joined, they can then be pulled apart. After letting it air dry for about ten minutes, FOAM-CURE will act like a contact cement when the parts are rejoined, resulting in enough tack strength to allow the next steps of assembly. Full strength is reached in 10-12 hours. FOAM-CURE works with all foams, and will actually bond most other materials. It will bond wood and plastic to foam, and is a good canopy glue. FOAM-CURE does not, however, cure flexible enough to act as a hinge for aircraft control surfaces. Its limitations occur when bonding large areas of two non-porous materials. FOAM-CURE requires exposure to air for drying. If one tried to bond, for example, a half-dollar coin to glass, over 90% of the adhesive would never cure, since the solvent it contains would have no where to evaporate. A small amount of denatured alcohol can be mixed into the Foam-Cure to make it thinner. Directions in 5 different languages.

Followed the directions and it worked perfectly as foam to foam adhesive. Dried very quickly with a durable hold.

Best foam glue I have ever used. Broke the complete nose off my Carbon Z Cub, used this glue and been flying every since. Very strong glue.

I needed to replace the foam on my ski goggles, using the "Frost King Air Conditioner Filters, Open Cell Foam", and this foam glue. It worked perfectly. I skied with them and the foam is holding in place great! This was easy to use, not messy or drippy at all and I would recommend to anyone for this same process.

Been using this for years. Always high quality. Great for RC modeling or general repairs.

I've experimented with different adhesives on foam before. Many of them, like hot glue, work quite well.This stuff I find better than just about anything else I've used. I recently got a hold of an organizer that is made of, essentially, foam core board. I applied the adhesive directly to both exposed sides of foam.That sucker is NOT coming apart...Plus, application is about as easy as it can be with the applicator on the bottle.

Found this on a Google search. A YouTube video showed how to repair ski goggle foam using this.I repaired 2 sets of goggles (5 minutes each): One was the joint between the plastic frame and the foam (used 2 narrow beads instead of 1 larger one). 2nd was between the foam and a thin layer of fleece material that contacts your face (spread glue out to avoid saturating thin layer).Both turned out great. I wore mine skiing the next day. Foam stayed on, wasn't hard or scratchy.Ease of use: No mixing, dries in a reasonable time. It's stringy, so have paper towels on hand.Value: I used Happy customer.

I'm using this glue to hold a cardboard 3D puzzle together. The long, thin nozzle makes it really easy to apply a small amount of glue, get into tight spots and doesn't get clogged. Dries shiney, but crystal clear. It rolls off your fingers when dry. It is a bit gooey so it has a tendency to leave "spider webs" like most modeling glue, but they are easily removed. One issue I really don't like is when I need to use a heavy blob, apparently the evaporation of the solvent causes air bubbles that dry to hard bumps. The clever attachment of the "never misplace" cap is nice in theory, but it just makes it guaranteed to constantly get in the way.
