  • Question
    What kind of glue do I use to glue to Styrofoam?
    Community Answer
    Hot glue in a low heat glue gun will work. If it has higher heat, it may melt the Styrofoam.

  • Question
    Is it true that contact cement melts most Styrofoam?
    Community Answer
    No. Brush it on with a small brush, then let the two parts partially dry. When it becomes very tacky, join the two parts and the bond will form.

  • Question
    What should I use to glue glass gems to a painted Styrofoam ball?
    Community Answer
    I have used Tacky Glue; the instant hold is useful, and stops the beads from falling off as you apply to the rest of the ball.

  • Question
    If I want to glue hemp to a styrofoam ball, what kind of glue should I use?
    Community Answer
    You could try the white glue that is mostly used for paper, but if you have some clear silicone, that may work better. Toxic glues tend to dissolve styrofoarm items.
