2018年10月16日 · School glue is much less expensive and even cheaper when the Back to School sales go on. Charlie Since you dilute the white glue with water consider using Elmer's School glue which is watered down Elme'rs White glue.

2018年2月25日 · I’m finally getting around to laying ballast after putting it off for too long. Thanks it’s getting hard to find white Elemers glue, especially in the gallon jugs. I did find Elemers school glue in gallon jugs at Wal Mart today. Question - Has anyone here used Elmer’s school glue for gluing down ballast on your layout? Thanks Richard

2019年4月2日 · My adventures in Elmer's glue continue... from my days in the Cub Scouts and Sunday School with arts & crafts, getting glue all over myself and the projects, to middle-age and gluing scenery and ballast, and still making a mess. I am still shaking my head on the different varities of Elmer's white glue, who the heck would've ever thought. I always thought there was just one Elmers white glue ...

2024年4月25日 · I had success using Elmer’s white glue to layer 2” foam board on a portable layout. Many years of moving the layout and storing it on its side never caused the layers to come apart. The layout even survived a move from one house to another.

2024年4月5日 · The Winner is .....Liquid Nails. The glue does NOT dry. Foam board lifted right up. No adhesion with Elmer's glue.

Elmer's school glue is pretty useless stuff. Glue All is the Elmer's you want, but its not going to have much impact on foam board. You can use it to glue stuff *to* the foamboard, but I would not use it to glue the board down. Its going to sit on the surface and merely tack it to the plywood. Use Liquid nails, or better yet, foamboard adhesive. The other thing you can use, if …

2018年3月6日 · Hi All, I am looking for light grey ballast that does not change color when Elmer's white glue is used to glue it in place. Currently, my light grey ballast turns to light tan after Elmers is sprayed on. Just using wet water (water with several drops of detergent added) to dilute the Elmers. Same thing happened when I used commercial matte medium. By commercial, I mean, it came diluted. Thanks, Ed

2024年4月18日 · Liquid Nails. They have a specific adhesive for foam. Over a large area, the Elmer's won't dry. It works better on porous surfaces and won't adhere to the non porous foam board.

I bought a gallon of Liquid Nails in a can and used a wide putty knife to spread the LN on the foam board and used bricks to weigh it down overnight. This is the third layout I’ve done with layers of foam over 3/8” plywood.

2024年3月21日 · THIS is a question right up MY alley having spent the summer rebuilding my layout which I moved in pieces from NJ to NC. Much of my basement NJ layout was still in the planning stage and therefore never glued down. I was PLANNING on using the Elmers glue and had a lot of it. So, in NC I began with the glue just to save money. Since it was old it was a bit thinker than usual which was actually ...
