Hi All,
I would really appreciate it if anyone could tell me what would be the best glue to bond styrene to wood or GRP? I am working on a fleetscale type 45 and I have made the back panel (aircraft hanger panel) from styrene sheet and I plan to bond it to wood supports and the edge will bond to the GRP hull. I've done some tests and epoxy just peels straight off the styrene.

Re: Bonding styrene to wood or GRP
Rough up the styrene surface a bit with sand paper and use medium Cyano acrylate glue (crazy/instant glue) use a little accelerator on the edges to cure it and it should be good to go. Be generous when applying to get a good bond.

Degrease carefully and roughen the styrene sheet, then epoxy resin should hold.
