Glue - safest to use on PCBs?
(1/3) > >>
SolderSucker:
I need to stick some small anti-static foam sheets to the solder side of some PCBs - what is the best type of glue to use for this?

I was thinking of something live Evo-Stick impact adhesive, it's of course highly flammable when in liquid form but I believe it's inert when set. Or is there a better alternative?
tooki:
Antistatic (pink) or static dissipative (black) foam? For the pink stuff I’d just use double stick tape. For the black one, I’m not sure.

Be careful not to introduce another source of static.

No, not bubble wrap or similar, in this particular case this is some dense black antistatic foam material which is backed by some type of cardboard or plastic - it was originally stuck in place with some kind of glue and I needed to peel it off to get at the solder side of the board, now of course it's lost some of its adhesive qualities and won't stay stuck down any more (and I do need to stick it back in place).

tooki:
Don’t put words in my mouth: I didn’t say anything about bubble wrap. There’s pink antistatic foam (several types, actually) and black static dissipative foam.

Anyway, if it’s got a rigid backing, just use fresh double stick tape.
