Can't remember which glue to use on expanded polystyrene. My HairyCopter is in need of repair!!

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.

Yep! I remember that!!

Thought PVA would do the trick Kev?

Pin the polysytrene together with cocktail sticks until it drys.

Liquid latex works. Get it from carpet or wool shops.

These bits have started snapping.

Balsa cement would work, I'd thought?

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

You know you can get pairs with infra red so you can shoot each other down now don't you?

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.
