Tutorial on making a hide with styrafoam and grout?

[Geck-O]

I need some help on building a hide/structures. What type of glue do you use to stick the styrafoam together? What glue dries very fast? Does superglue have some bad fumes that could harm the gecko or would the grout stop the fumes from coming out? If it's not too much trouble, I also would like the 'blueprints' or designs of the structures/hide that are easy to build.

Thanks!

I've made several of these. They are really easy. I use hot glue on mine. Only glue I have ever used. I don't know about super glue. May be too harsh of a chemical smell. As far as a "blueprint," there really isn't one. I just cut out different sizes and shapes of the foam and glue it together once I like the look. It is all about personal preference. If you need step by step, let me know.

I use liquid nails, some use gorilla glue. I wouldn't use superglue. There is a very good tutorial on youtube. There are also many sites, google for more information.
