Scrimman, How did you adhere the lids to the tops? What kind of adhesive did you use that wouldn’t melt the styrofoam? Or, did you use another method?

Hey squid! (I’m a bubblehead m’self)
I’m guessing that you’re asking how I glued the Styrofoam to the boxes: I didn’t. It’s a friction fit. I wanted to make sure that the boxes could be removed for cleaning and/or replacement if necessary. The bottom was easy…just dropped it in. The tops have little ‘teeth’ I glued in that are kinda like those little catches on battery compartments. They’ll hold it in place until the edges are pressed out to move them away from the teeth.
The only kind of glue I used on the project was just regular wood glue.
