Question
UHU vs. GOO & GOO II
Hi,
I have now used UHU on my foam model...but ran out...My HS does not carry UHU..but they carry GOO & GOO II ( no clue what the diff. is between goo and goo II) Is goo as good..and really the same thing as UHU? Or is there some differance I should know about? Pat |

I would suspect there to be a difference in the "base" of the stuff.
test on a carefully selected spot (or a scrap of a broken model made of the same type foam) to see if the different stuff dissolves foam. E-6000 (available at hobby lobby craft stores) is very similar to UHU... but it dissolves most foams. |

SOMEONE will have tried it.
The question is whether someone who has tried it will see this thread... |

UHU is a good glue that seems to work very well on a lotta things. Any glue you use, always try it out on scraps first to see what it really does .
UHU, pronounced oohoo, is a glue invented in 1932 by August Fischer and then developed over last 30 yrs. It was named after the Eagle Owl, a bird that lived in the Black Forest of Germany at the time. Maybe bodes well for things that fly . If I remember right Chuck suggested it to coat surfaces before putting on Blenderm tape for hinges so they stay. Or maybe somebody said something similar, can't remember for sure Icky |

I was getting ready to fix a foam wing and my wife gave me a tube of stuff called "Hold the Foam." I think she got it at JoAnns also. It says it is instant grab, repositionable, water cleanup, dries in 45min with full strength in 24 hours. It kind of looks like a thin white tooth paste.
