To re-attach your styrofoam beam to the ceiling, use a construction adhesive
such as LIQUID NAILS
LN910 Adhesive for Paneling & Molding or other suitable heavy-duty
construction adhesive. Be sure to follow the "venting method"
instructions on the back label so the adhesive doesn't harm the foam beams. Some
adhesives will destroy styrofoam, so be sure to check with the manufacturer
about your application before you commit to any product. Construction adhesives
are permanent and are available from the Home Depot or other building supply
stores in convenient tubes you can use with a caulking gun. To hold the beam in
place while the adhesive cures, use a few 2x4s cut to size and wedge them into
place between the floor and the beam on the ends and the center. Be careful not
to damage the beam. Also, if the beam crosses any ceiling joists, you can also
screw the beam into place at a few key locations using long deck screws. We
always recommend using additional fasteners because it is never a good idea to
install ceiling or overhanging structures with adhesive alone.
