Guest Anonymous Posted April 23, 2001 Share Posted April 23, 2001 Terry, What adhesive did you use when you glued your blocks on the car to form your one off molds? I've bought the materials to experiment with doing a simple back spoiler and have the blocks (a sort of gray green hard florist foam with very very small pours that sands rather easily). I did a test and was able to use CA to glue the blocks together but didn't know if this was a good adhesive to use to put the blocks on the car to begin shaping. Any info would be appreciated.

blueovalz Posted April 23, 2001 Share Posted April 23, 2001 Believe it or not...a hot glue gun (low temp works fine). I sticks to just about everything to a point. Just don't get the glue on a part of the joint that has to be sanded. This causes a raised spot because the glue will not sand like the foam does and will require extra care and work at any joint where the foam has been sanded down to the glue. TIP: I got some sticky back sanding sheets (for air files), stuck them to the surface of the car that the foam was going to sit on, and then ran the foam piece over this paper in very short strokes. This then sands down the bottom of the foam and thus makes the bottom of the foam piece match the contour of the body (somewhat). This gives the foam more contact area to glue with.

Guest Anonymous Posted April 24, 2001 Share Posted April 24, 2001 Excellent! Thank you kindly. Thats a good tip about moulding the bricks to the car surface with the sandpaper, I was a little concerned with getting them flush and that'll work great. Thanks again.
