I don't know but whatever you do use don't try the polystyrene cement you use for plastic model kits. That stuff eats into expanded polystyrene like the blood from the Alien Bananarama!!

Is it the same as the stuff B&Q sell for coving and ceiling tiles? I'm sure it's water based,not pva.

A word to the wise Kev, don't fly them outside when it's a bit breezy we lost the signal on one of ours in about five seconds and it was last seen flying towards Luton :oops:

PVA will work, but I don't know if it's strong enough for that part. Maybe do a test on super glue or something like that.
