Tape that sticks to styrofoam?

just silicone the styrofoam in place n then put a bit of silicone on the spots where you need it taped and then tape over it. you could probably even skip the tape all together.

thanks Gawd I'll use the silicone to keep the tape stuck. I wanted to tape all the edges so that those stupid little styro balls stop flaking off every time I touch the cut edges.

Next time I'm going to bite the bullet and buy the expensive really dense stuff (you know the $30 per sheet blue material) It's much less hassle.

Our Home Hardware sells Styrofoam covered with an aluminium finish. Any kind of tape would stick to it.

GW I didn't know about that kind or I would have got that. ( Wonder how they got the aluminum to stick to the styrofoam ... ) Is it aluminum on both sides? If not, when you use it, which side do you put the aluminum on? For an incubator, would the aluminum side be closest or furthest from the incubator?

The aluminium foil is on both sides.
