what is EPP?

[rcFoamFighters]

EPP is Expanded polypropylene, an engineered plastic foam material. Stronger and more resistant to damage. it works well to make a plane that can survive some pretty good crashes.

Hey there just a question, 3M90 spray you used, can it be used with depron? EPP foam can take CA even... which is not the case with depron. I'm afraid 3M90 spray would eat depron... am I right? Thanks!

[rcFoamFighters]

3m90, i have not used on Depron yet. i think it may eat depron, but not sure. I know it eats Blue Core Foam, found that out the hard way, LOL. I would test any adhesive on a scrap piece of foam first to make sure it works. It took a few mistakes for me to learn that too, LOL.

Hey its Zoey again, this is close to what I mean, but it doesnt show how to build the plane itself...

[rcFoamFighters]

Zoey, please see the Build along videos. Frank is in the process of making a tutorial on how to make a plane from scratch. We will also be doing other videos as time allows us too. Thanks!

3M-77 will eat depron,styrofoam,bluecore,and foamboard......I use it for my EPP planes only,never use epoxy,too much weight,also spray it outside,fumes are toxic to breathe...nice job

[PLISKEN12]

how do shape the parts? sand paper?

[rcFoamFighters]

aecomputer1, you can get it at Home Depot. The one on Hwy K has it, thats where I got it last. It is usually in the Roofing Repair area. Alos Home Depot carries the 3M 90 Spray adhesive. this adhesive will work for EPP but NOT on Blue core or some others. So if you use it, test it on scrap material first to make sure it does not eat the foam. Anyway, would love to hear how your testing goes if you decide to use it. Thanks for the comment.

[aecomputer1]

Where do I find the Fiberglass weave you used here? I hadn't heard of it before and would like to do some testing with it on a build I am working on next.

Thanks
