Need glue to stick polystyrene to metal
I'm busy insulating my garage for winter. I've got 2" polystyrene insulation that i'm fitting to the metal garage door.
Can anyone thing of anything that will stick the two together?
(also if you're thinking of doing it, get 1" polystyrene - far easier to use as you can cut it between the door spars and use gaffer tape
to stick it in place).

Double sided tape or glue dots.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Double side tape - carpet tape, I think it's called. Polystyrene should be light enough not to pull off

Watch out for welding and grinding sparks unless you are going to sheet over the polystyrene?

It's worth either using foil backed polystyrene or covering the poly in aliminium foil (use some double sided sticky tape to attach the foil to
the poly). It'll help keep the heat in and protect it against sparks. Poly gives off pretty foul smoke when it gets hot (and burns like crazy
when properly hot).

Already figured out the 'burning' issue. Got bubble wrap stuff that is thick foil backed on both sides. Thats going over the polystyrene
(which i really should have got the 1" stuff).
Also think i'm 99% finished with grinding / welding so should be ok when we get into proper winter.
(i hope).
