If you need glue for foam materials such as EPO and EPP, you can use ordinary cyano glue.

Which glue for foam materials such as EPO and EPP?
EPO and EPP are popular foam materials in RC planes and models because they are light and can take knocks. But they need the right glue, so you do not dissolve the foam or end up with a joint that breaks at the first hard landing.
The quick conclusion
For most repairs on EPO/EPP, contact adhesive for foam (e.g. UHU POR / Foam-Tac) is the safest choice. Use foam-safe CA for small, quick fixes, and epoxy when you need maximum strength in areas under load.
Specifications
- Contact adhesive for foam (UHU POR / Foam-Tac): Flexible, gentle on foam, good for larger joints and cracks.
- Foam-safe CA (superglue): Very fast, good for small repairs. Sets harder/more brittle than contact adhesive.
- Epoxy (5–30 min): Very strong, best for motor mounts/reinforcements. Usually heavier and slower.
- Method (contact adhesive): Thin layer on both surfaces → wait 5–10 min → press together.
- Warning: Ordinary CA and solvent-based glue can damage foam – always choose a foam-safe glue.
What the package contains
- Guidance on choosing the type of glue for EPO/EPP (contact adhesive, foam-safe CA, epoxy).
- Practical tips on use and curing, so the joint holds better.
- A quick overview of what to avoid so you do not melt the foam.
What you need
- The right glue: Contact adhesive for foam (recommended), foam-safe CA or epoxy as needed.
- Tools: Scalpel/hobby knife, tape or rubber bands to hold the part in place while it cures.
- Cleaning: Cloth/paper and possibly isopropyl alcohol to remove dirt (always test on a hidden area first).
- Reinforcement (optional): Glass-fibre/reinforcing tape or carbon fibre rods for areas under high load.
