    Hmm, I have never experienced Gator glue Foaming before...Foaming is normally a trait of PVU glues. Great for joints in wood, not so good for plastic.

      Actually Ian the instructions I had told of the very slight foaming. It is not polystyrene filler excess in those grotesque wadges. Just a dainty squage !

        I have just never noticed it before and I use it quite often.

        The Urethane glue I am referring to is not the high volume foam for filling gaps and such, its a normal glue for joiners, it foams up just a little so it looks like a fine sponge, just rock hard! (and impossible to get off your fingers!!! How do I know that.....)

          Think I noticed it soon Ian as, as is usual, I am a bit liberal with glues. Found that with Gaytor's you need very little probable as it foams a bit.

          Used it a couple of times on other non model related things & it is a revelation.
