This paper and foam got more attachment issues than me. Any glue suggestions. If it changes anything, this is the rear part of the ft spitfire.

If its just the edges of the paper peeling back from the foam, I just squirt a tiny amount of hot glue in there and hold it shut. Lots of folks will use different mixtures to seal up their delaminating edges, from Modge-Podge to a mix of white glue and water.

Elmers glue good?

Yes. I've used a 50/50 mix with water and let it dry overnight. Hardens up the exposed foam edges and helps with the paper adhesion.

Ironing the edges seals them up, adds rigidity, and probably reduces drag too. It‘s a bit tedious and smelly though.

As you will see, there are as many cures as there are users. I try to prevent it in the first place by using the stuff spect. for FF and running a bead of hot glue down the edges and whipping it flat with foam scrapers made from scrap.
