Making GLUE from STYROFOAM and ACETONE

Today I will make glue from styrofoam and acetone. It doesn't require many ingredients, so you can make it at home! All you need is foam plastic (styrofoam) and acetone. As you know, acetone dissolves styrofoam pretty well. And when you dissolve lots of styrofoam in it, a sticky consistency appears. The glue we got can be used in everyday life!

I did this, and with great results! I glued tile to the floor and also those fake wood planks that make it look like have wood floors. Thank you for the know how

Acetone and Styrofoam is a great source of lab pranks also! Nice video, keep up with the good work!

By The Way, I got the same result as others below. the Styrofoam used was packing around a UPS. The Styrofoam melted as the video shows but all it ever made was a bubble gum type putty and that was it. Not sticky at all. It did not make a honey-like liquid that you got.

Hi, I really like your videos and I have a question about the polystyrene foam you are using because it's different from the one I got. Yours dissolves in to a dense homogeneous liquid with acetone, the one I use become a goo separated from the acetone. Do you know why? Are there different kinds of polystyrene?

[flashgordon]

ive tried this and all i got was white paste that wasnt very sticky....it didnt dissolve into the acetone as shown in the video.. which is what i wanted . iis there a specific type of styrofoam? that dissolves and mixes with acetone..

[RedRock]

Make thicker. Apply to both surfaces. Let it get tacky. Stick surfaces together. That is the best way to do this

[ALLnOneVivek]

Is acetone and thinner both r same...
I think Acetone plus thormocoa mixl is clear solvent instead of petrol plus thormocoal..

[cyberlizardcouk]

how long will it stay liquid once mixed (for storage purposes).

[tahseenn]

all i'm getting is a a sort of gum like substance that is not sticky to the touch - so it doesn't hold on to the surface I'm gluing. What could be wrong?

[tamaramills]

So how do u save the glue/adhesive? Or is it a 1 time mix & use. I really hate throwing styrofoam away bc it doesn’t breakdown & bad for environment.

[alistair]

Can the glue be stored for future use?

[WilliamAstor-el]

can you use this to stick styrofoam sheets to a wall?

[brettmasters]

when I do this the styrofoam 'dissolves' but doesn't go into solution it just forms a white viscous slime ????

[debsmart]

How do you clean the container you used to make glue if you transfer to another container or when you use up the glue in the container you used to make the glue?

[abruptlyblunt]

this video is BS, I've tried multiple different density Styrofoams and they all breakdown in acetone but they all turn into a white blob that just floats in the acetone, no matter how long i left the styrofoam in the acetone none of them ever turned into the usable clear glue like liquid shown in this

[shantoochristopher]

Is acetone better than petrol in this case?

[lynntran]

can i use this glue STYROFOAM and ACETONE to seal the garden pot holes with another piece plastic ? can it seal and no leaking - good for OUTDOOR not MELTING like hot glue... Or I have to made Glue Styrofoam + gasoline ? thankyou in advance.

[matchrocket]

He is not using acetone. Acetone and styrofoam produce a gooey ball. If you want the results he shows here, you have to use Xylene. The gooey ball made using Acetone can be used as a glue but it is hard to work with.

[jheanemiaga]

Is there any other organic solvent that can dissolve styrofoam?
I'm worried cuz Acetone is flammable.
Do you have any suggestions?
