eps adhesive

any recommendations for eps to eps adhesive?

Low expansion foam is pretty good - remember to dampen the eps before applying the foam.

I just posted about using Insta Stik to attach insulated plasterboard to block walls. It would work for this.

 

Pinkgrip  Dryfix also which seems a bit cheaper.

 

I assume there is no movement in the EPS otherwise I would be worried that the EPS itself would tear.

Stuck all my eps to eps and eps to concrete/brick/block with it. Jeremy suggested it way back.

That's the stuff - used about 12 cans to stick about 80 sheets of EPS to the exterior basement wall. Goes off pretty quickly and as it is low expansion, does not push the EPS away from the wall, although a bit of propping is never a bad idea.

 

Quick spritz of water on wall and EPS before the foam is good for adhesion.

 

Wear gloves though, if you get it on your hands it will leave a hard to remove black stain. I recall Jeremy saying that isopropl alcohol can remove it.

 

If you get a decent gun from screwfix, you don't need to flush it out after use - i've picked up a can after 6 months, chipped off the hardened foam and it's worked a treat.

With the S'fix gun I find the tip of a snap off craft knife is ideal to clean round the nozzle though you need to be careful not to damage the ball in the end. To get any dried foam off I just lay the barrel down and give a damn good wire brushing. Tbh I try and squirt some form cleaner around the tip as I'm using it.

Cheers for all the good info. ?
