What kind of glue did you use to glue the polystyrene to the aluminum?
I am asking because I am also considering to glue the Dibond directly to the skeleton and polystyrene. Looking at other builds it looks to be common practice to add an extra layer of thin plywood, so the wall is made up out of 4 layers: aluminum, thin plywood, insulation (incl. skeleton), thin plywood. I simply do not see the benefit of this method. Imho it just adds weight. What are your considerations to this aspect of the build?
Hi,
The glue/kit i initially wanted to use was not strong enough. I came in contact with kitcentrum.nl and i finally ended up by Zwaluw Hybrifix 302 kit. Its an solvent free glue, so if you want you can you can use it also for the Styrofoam.
I personally wil not glue the foam. It just clamps between the dibond and the inner wall/plywood sheet.
I'll go with your theory that the extra layer plywood is not necessary, but we will use dibond and that is more stif than a single layer of aluminum. Think that is the reason.
