Beacon is the bomb! I used it on a Fun Cub and the stuff works great. A buddy uses it to put together indoor 3D planes he sells made out of EPP foam. He can start a plane and just keep working on it, and the bonus no CA fumes or brittle joints.

Is this different from the Beacon Foam-Tac?

I think the OP means the Beacon foam-Tac, cause that is what I was referring to.

I got this tube for a pilot prize today. Doesn't say OP, just (Hold the Foam), and (Glue For Styrofoam.)

No idea on that one as I thought you meant the Beacon glue. If you have some pieces of epp give it a try and see if it holds.

Do a Google search you will come up with a lot of answers for this glue. One thing I just read it is not water proof so not a good glue for say a float plane.

Very short thread on this glue.

Gramps, this is Beacon glue, just defined for foam, cardboard and other materials.

I use Beacon Foam-Tac almost exclusively on all my planes when they need repairs. It works pretty nicely for hinging too.

Its a long story but i refuse to use foam tac because they trippled the price of it for no reason . They have one of the biggest scams on RCG going with free give aways and a bunch of good old boys that are selling his stuff as their cheer leading squad .lol One day soon RCG will figure it out and make them pay for the free advertizing they have thought up. When any one complains about something comming loose on their contest thread (free advertizing thread) here comes the cheer leaders and its most time blamed on the guy using it . The stuff might be great but i hate when companys try to rip off builders. There are companys like MPF Model Plane Foam that are model builders just like us and dont want want to get rich just make a decent proffit for their stuff. joe
