I tried the glue trick on a couple of pieces of my proton pack and it looks like it works! So simple... I smeared an even layer of elmer's along the edges of the foamcore and really did make a nice, smooth seal. Probably will do a second layer to smooth it out a little more, but yeah - great trick for foamcore edges.
I started on the body for my WED-15 as well. Unfortunately ran out of hot glue sticks, so I have to see if my hardware store has more tomorrow morning.
Since I'm using foamcore for most of WED's body, I discovered that the sheets I purchased weren't quite long enough so I have to do the sides and the base in two pieces. Not ideal, but I'm trying to keep this on the cheap. If I can get my hot glue sticks tomorrow I'm hoping to have the frame for the base assembled and then I can cut a couple of pieces of 1 x 4 wood to strengthen the interior, as well as give me something to attach the neck to later on.
