I am considering making a 'hot box' for waxing skis uning 2" foam board. Normal directions for this are to use 3/4" OSB or pylwood. My concern is whether foam board can be glued along the edges for joining the sides and top/bottm.

Has anyone had experience glueing rigid foam board?

thanks,
Van

Hi Van, some of the liquid nails and tube adhesives are rated for the different rigid foams. Double check the applications when you go to buy. My experience is they hold well, but can be slow to cure. Give it some time and you should be all right.
