Adhesive - which to use?

[Rosie]

I need to encase some foam blocks in wadding before I put them into cushion covers for a sofa. What is the best glue to use? Spray adhesive, Copydex or something else entirely? I'm sure someone here will know......

Hi Rosie
I have used spray adhesive in the past, however you do have to be very careful with any type of flammable glue. They should be stored in a metal cupboard.. I have recently had a health and safety inspection and you need to have COSHH sheets if in a commercial environment.
COSSH Control of substances hazardous to health.
Maybe better to use copydex. Hope that helps

Some glues will not work on foam while others eat it I always (used to ) use spray adhesive..just checked Copes catalogue & find they no longer supply so perhaps as previously suggested there is some legislation about it...best just try Copydex like Penny suggests

I'd give foam for home a call, or, drop them an email . They will know

Hi
Try A & C Valmic, they do spray adhesives and are quite good

Hello and thanks to everyone for all the advice. I will try A & C and see if they can advise me. I have got a metal cupboard so it would be no trouble to store things.

Thank you again.
