Best adhesive for polystyrene?

[highseas]

I have 13 sheets of polystyrene to stick to the back of claddin sheets, what spray adhesive would you recommend? the one I have is eating the polystyrene so I think that's a no go!

Spray expanding foam in a can ?

 

[tom2207]

would double sided tape be an option ?

PU glue?

like gorilla glue? If you moisten it then it sort of activates it. It works well.

White PVA glue will do it, its water based.

Wood glue.

 

[Pete.]

All sorts. PU glue, expanding foam or one of the propriety ones like Loctite 300

I use builders PVA[found a gallon can of it] to stick blue polystyrene together.
The pva works well, but if you finsihing a block of polystyrene you don't want pva
encroaching on sanded or cut surfaces, as it doesn't sand or cut the same as polystyrene.

Insulating Steel Doors

Last year i put a new roof on my garage workshop, Also built new side opening doors for it to increase security. The new doors are 6' 6" high 4' wide made from 30mm box section steel with angle iron welded on to form a ledge for the panels to fasten into. Panels are 2.5mm galv steel. I lined...

The galved frames have flat plastisol coated sheets with the poly inside as insulation then 3mm white pvc cladding on the inside, my trouble is.I’ve always used pan head self tapping screws with white heads to fix the white sheets on, no problems-until now I can not get them for love nor money!!
so I have had to go the glueing route

PVA all day long. We do a lot of it where I work and it's cheap and works really well.

so change your screw theres plenty out there

but i presume its a money thing

time you have messed around gluing and testing it your wasting more money
