    Default Bonding Polystyrene to MDF

    Would a modified PVA work glueing MDF to polystyrene sheets like a MDF sandwich.

    I know that MAX Bond does work but i would like a thiner more easy to spread glue, also thought about a polyurthane but cost is a problem, any thoughts.

    thanks in advance

    Yes.

    Providing the styrene has a reasonably flush surface, and isn't of the terribly pourous variety.

    To be safe, do a test strip and subject it to whatever treatment it's likely to get in use.

    Cheers,

    Gaza,
    Look at my thread called "Styrene Acrylate Glue - slow setting replacement for PVA glue" ... this glue would be perfect for your job. It seems to stick almost anything to anything!!
