In Response To: Epoxy: Bonding Mini-cell foam to wood? (Rick B.)

: Hi all,
: I'm about to install thigh braces and the factory recommends
: "Pliobond". This sounds like a contact cement, which I'm not too
: keen on. All my other laminations have been done with epoxy and micro
: fibers. My questions is there any problems associated with epoxying
: mini-cell to wood with epoxy. Thanks Rick

Rick,

Epoxy works well with Minicell. The main advantage to contact cement is that it bonds on contact.
