    How should I glue foam into the hull?

    Hi Guys,

    guess the topic title says it all...

    What is a good waterproof glue for fixing foam into my sub?

    I looked all thru the Dive tribe topics but, nothing seems to have been discussed.

    Thanks !

    RTV silicon 'gasket making' adhesive if you've got time on your hands. Hot glue gun if you don't.

      Well Dave, if a picture is worth a 1000 words, you just sent me a book! Thanks for the photos. Really helps me to 'picture' the process

      I'm sure your response will help a lot of folks .
      Thank you,

            I use PL construction adhesive. It has very good initial grip and dries in minutes.
