[NSRCA-discussion] gluing foam to fiberglass

[Koenig, Tom]

Hi Guys,

I'm a little late on this thread-but the stuff we use to line cowls etc is the same foam you might find on the bottom of your mouse pads.

I stole the idea from CPLR-although I suspect he uses the Kyosho foam ( a heli product?) In my case, one of the boys at the field works in the printing business and he had a  trunk full of this material 'before' it was applied to the mouse pads. Its about 2mm thick, fuel proof and it was already sticky backed to boot!

It was free and it took me below the noise limit.

Tom

Jason,
The foam you're using is pretty flexible so the glue will have to be
flexible as well. I would think that 3M 77 would be flexible enough as well
as RC-56. May have a problem getting the RC-56 to dry though since the foam
will block the air it needs to dry. I'm not sure about the poly glues since
I've never tried them.
