I have some resin building walls that I want to extend using foamcore. What adhesive can I use to bond these two materials together?

Thanks

I just tried regular 2-part epoxy on foamcore and it didn't eat it away, so that will work.

A little bead of low-temp hot glue?

Either way, what you are bonding the resin to is the paper layer.

Unless you are gluing the edge of the foam core to the resin, then it's the foam. I would think it would take hot glue well if it didn't melt…

Try a small amount of yellow carpenter's glue.

I have been using both Elmer's CraftBond ( link ) without any trouble but if I want to be sure I use Weldbond Universal Adhesive ( link ) .
