Well today I decided to do a little test, even though I knew what the answer would be.

Yes today I stuck some blue foam together with gel super glue and also contact cement!

Contact cement on the left, super glue on the right. I deliberately made them different so I knew which was which.

Interestingly the contact adhesive attacked the foam instantly and almost came through the base piece. The super glue on the other hand wasn’t as reactive as I thought it would be. Yes there was some pitting on the surface of the foam, but nothing like the other one. The left hand bit looks a bit rough and looks like it has lifted up. That was actually me having a pull early on. As for the rough edge… I don’t actually know, I don’t think it was the glue. They were a couple of scrap pieces.

The small bit in the foreground is where I shoved some super glue onto it and then left it.

I actually stuck a roof on the foam building. Instead of starting again I just worked with what was built. What was built was not square, so my nice accurate roof pieces don’t fit.

Luckily it is going to be covered with something.

I might give thatch a go on this one.

Oh and I just noticed that the door looks super wide, might be an optical illusion because of the angle of the photo…
