10 things...neoprene glue
3. Neoprene glue isn't bad.
I used both a gel-type neoprene glue in a can (sold for gluing things to
walls and ceilings) and a caulk-type in a tube, both solvent-based (eats
polystyrene foam). Both had to be put on both surfaces and allowed to
dry for at least 20 minutes before joining. That wait was sometimes a
pain, but then I could easily go an hour and then join with no problem,
so there were pros and cons. The other point, both pro and con, is that
it grips more or less immediately, and repositioning weakens the joint,
so you have to get it right the first time. This was convenient some of
the time, such as when assembling frames then flipping them over to nail
them, and inconvenient at other times, such as when putting on gunwales.
