Very helpful chart JK!

Apparently 2 part epoxy isn't always the best answer- who knew. :P

Did not see any urethane adhesives in there. I use them, for example, to bond fiberglass to metal as they have very high shear strength due to being more compliant than epoxies. Never had a failure yet and no distortion of the fiberglass over time.

I don't even see fiberglass in the list of materials to be glued. Wasn't in the link that figjam posted either.

In the above chart, I see styrofoam being bonded with hot glue......
Is it only me that the hot glue melts the styrofoam?
