Can I use this glue gun for styrofoam projects? For example, applying glue to one block of styrofoam to attach it to another block.

Oh yes its wonderful although I wouldn't buy it online go to AC Moore and buy one for two bucks :)

It's better to clamp the substrate while drying, but it's not necessary. As long as you hold the two pieces together for a minute or so, the glue will start to dry.

no...it come with 2 types of glue sticks, regular & extra strength...just insert the sticks in the gun and thats it. No problems by me..

I haven't tried that but I bet you could glue it because it's as thin as heavy paper. You might need to set it beneath weights for a while before you tried the gluing because it comes rolled tightly. Weighting down the glued surface afterwards would probably be useful too.

Yes you can. However you should allow several days for the glue to set up. should you need to move any piece before it is completely set up, this is easily accomplished. The great thing about Weldbond is it dries clear and has great strength when it is completely dry. JB

I would assume that you could but the heat might cause the glue holding it in place to melt (0-0) although that already happens eventually....

Yes ...this is a glue kit. Not a Snap-Tite kit. The best is to use a lliquid glue. There are a lot of choices out there...Tenex, Testors ....etc; hold this helps

I think that it should be fine for crafts. Depending on the type of glue that you are using, the bond can be strong enough for several projects. Not bad of a unit, I only use it occasionally, not sure if hot enough or durable for professional heavy duty use.

While I have used this for exterior use with metal to stone with great success, I can't say how it might work with styrofoam, HOWEVER, the best advice would be to visit the Liquid Nails website and check out the various types of Liquid Nails offered and determine from their website what works best. Here is the website URL: http://www.liquidnails.com/en-US/diyWhile I would feel confident this would work based upon the uses described on their site there may be another application listed that would be cheaper in cost for ya. Check them out.

I'm not sure this would be the best glue for a project like that. I believe there may be better choices out there for your purpose, depending on how well you need the glue to hold.To me, this glue is much like standard school glue, but is clear.I was pleased with its performance as a school-type glue for light use. I'm just not sure whether it would hold your Lego pieces together over the long term.

Unfortunately...I cannot say for sure. I've only used these to make homemade compressed air T-shirt cannons. :)

Most possibly no. I have tried it on smooth surfaces and it successfully held up to several lbs, however, concrete at its smoothest type would still have tiny holes which prevent the glue to work. If what you are gluing is not very heavy it might work by applying several layers of glue.

No, I would not use it for a piece that cannot be clamped. The hardening time varied depending on how much was mixed. Larger amounts set much quicker than small amounts. I have subsequently used it to glue some wood and found it pretty slow to set compared to yellow wood glue.

I would think an ordinary glue stick would be just fine. What I was using them for didn't require that they be glued together.

Yes but it may disolve the Styrofoam. The adhesive specifically for Styrofoam may work better but that has not been my experience.

I think so. I took a polymer clay class and the teacher used this to glue tiles onto a picture frame then baked it!!

Yes, ironically, on my first project I had to make a box for "mr. pancake" and the one I had was undone on one end. I just used a glue stick but it worked fine. G'luck!
