Special Stabond contact cement is used to glue Styrofoam insulation, Filon fiberglass RV siding, wood, and metal to create composite sandwich wall panel. This video discusses how to repair damaged RV walls and siding, and how to build an RV type insulated composite sandwich wall panel.

In the past many RV manufactures built the walls in a factory by gluing layers of fiberglass, wood, and Styrofoam together with contact cement. The main advantage of contact cement was the immediate bond that occurred when the parts were joined together. Contact cement worked well, however flammability and toxicity issues pushed manufacturers to find an alternative that was easier to handle and store.

We started with 3 off-the-shelf contact cements that any DIY'er could find with reasonable effort and cost. Unfortunately, all the standard contact cements failed at higher temperatures. The glue became very soft and the Filon and plywood could be easily separated.

After a long search we located a contact cement product from Stabond that works well. In this video we demonstrate a basic panel fabrication using the Stabond products. For more information visit www.delamrepair.com
