    Glue for securing servos in foamies

    Glue recommendations for securing servos in the little compartments of foamies?
    Thanks, Bill

    For just securing the servos. I've found the servo tape has worked just fine. No issues....yet....I frequently check them.

      Greetings Bill.

      I agree, servo tape does the job quite nicely.
      I and I'm sure many others have also used hot glue at times as well.
      Although I would recommend the newer "Cold" hot glue.

      Servo tape leads the pack though.

          First wrap the servo with blue painter's tape (provides texture for 'grab'), then secure in place with a pea-sized dab of hot glue.
          Makes future replacement a breeze - the tape peels away cleanly from the servo & you can get at the hot glue & remove; rubbing alcohol will dissolve it, no damage to the foam.

              RE: Glue for securing servos in foamies

              I use Liquid Nails Projects repair adhesive on my foamies now. It is white, paintable, can be sanded, slightly flexible, and can be easily cut for removal. It also washes up with water. It does take a little while to cure. Very strong. The Doctor
