Sticky Situation

Sticky Situation
If you’re having trouble getting your tape hinges to stick to your foam airplane, use a cotton swab to apply a thin coating of medium or thick foam-safe CA to the area where the tape will be applied. Let the adhesive air dry (don’t use kicker!) and then apply the tape. The hinge material will stick more securely and will last much longer than if it were applied to the untreated foam surface.
