Which EDF model for a learner?
JohnPearson:
Uncle Keith
Go with the hot glue gun, I stuck the big B52 together with it. The trick with this method, is to not let the glue get to hot, therefore, switch off the gun every so often. The only draw back is weight, hot glue can be heavy, so just spot glue the parts at the stress points or spead the glue very quickly over the joint.
I use hot glue all the time with foam models, it's cheap and very strong. Lidl have a great offer on glue sticks starting tomorrow, I got six boxes last year with the same offer, 30 sticks for £5.00, compared with B&Q 5 sticks for £4.75.

BINGO! :D
That’s very useful information John. I wouldn’t have thought about turning the gun off every so often. Thank you. :clap:
30 sticks for a fiver, now that’s what I call a bargain. 8)
Thank you for your input guys…………….only goes to show, “Your never too old to learn”
(And I’m older than god!) :(

Hi Keith, hot glue works great on EPS/EPO even depron.
Another wee tip, once you have applied the hot glue and secured your joint, lick your finger and smooth out the excess glue ! it leaves a beautiful smooth finish.
