Which glue do I use to glue a "Sculpey" wall to a styrofoam block and paper? I know super glue will ruin the styrofoam but will epoxy do the same?

Two part resin MIGHT work - test it out first.
If not go with the carpenters glue. You could also look into Craft style white glue from Michaels. It's tackier than typical white glue.

Thanks guys, not having either two part resin, or carpenters glue, I decided to use good old white glue - I think they are similar compounds. So far I've glued the first wall and it worked great, I also drilled out some holes in the wall and the base and put in some sticks to act as locating pins, just to make sure I get a good bond. You can expect first pics of my dio/vignette in a little while, as soon as I complete the other two walls.

hey all,

two part epoxy doesn't attack the foam, Paul.
