Glue Styrofoam
Most cyanoacrylates like super glue and Krazy glue, the off the shelf glues, have solvents in them that will disolve styrofoam and like substances. If you are using styrofoam in various crafts and need a glue that is quick and magical in its ability to bond this material, use Mister Glue.
Mister Glue is an industrial cyanoacrylate so it has had the solvents distilled out making it many times stronger and allowing for a permanent bond. It is almost instant and will not damage foam at all. It is the solvents in super glue or Krazy Glue that will do the damage when yoiu are trying to glue styrofoam.
As there are no solvents iIt will glue foam to foam and other materials as well. If you are doing larger areas you may have a cheaper styrofoam glues that you like to use. For smaller repairs like the manufacture of Christmas decorations, Mister Glue will do the job with the tiniest bit. You use so little of Mister Glue a bottle will do hundreds of applications.
Even if you need to glue larger surfaces, because you need such a small amount of Mister Glue it is very economical. You don't need to cover the whole surface usually to make a fast bond.
Another benefit of using Mister Glue with materials like foam and other things that kids may be around is that it is completely non-toxic when cured. The product is biodegradable. Do use the product in a ventilated area though - when using, the fumes can be an irritant.
Mister Glue also dries clear and flexible.
When apply Mister Glue to styrofoam modelling and some squeezes out of a seam, leave it to dry up before removing. If you try and wipe it off it will smear and be much more difficult to get off. Once it has dried up a bit you can use a sharp knife to gently scrape off any residue.
