What would be best to adhere plastic to styrofoam? Super glue eats the foam. Regular white glue won't hold. Special foamy glue is expensive. Any practical solutions?

Thanks :)

They do make a CA glue for styrafoam .

Should be the same price.

get it from your local hobby shop if you have one.

The local shop had a glue for styrofoam for $12 for a tiny squeeze bottle. :shock:

That's when I decided to look for an alternative.
