MadDog Mike's Platterful of Pupule - El Diablo Bottle & 6 ft Concrete Moai - Other Crafts

The foam has accumulated oxidation, grime, and in this case, concrete residue. So I hosed it down with a spray nozzle. Gorilla Glue is a polyurethane that is activated by water and works very well on foam. Their mantra is "damp it and clamp it". So while it was wet, I put Gorilla glue on the pieces, aligned them, and weighted it with a big brick. Here's all 9 pieces glued together. Should be dry tomorrow and I can start carving.
