The big boys don't want the DIYers nailing their trade so they kept their lips tight about the actual adhesive and procedure to make SIP's.

Through the research I've done it can be done with 3M fastbond (WB) and a vacuum press.

I myself drew up plans for a simple clamp press.

So while it maybe easy to assemble and even build SIP's there is some additional cost involved.

Hotwire tools are spendy and the ones needed are a little challenge to DIY.

I suppose if you don't leave runners for wiring it's far easier.

In my listed design there are only 6 different SIP's and a significant portion are either 4x8 or 4x9.

Cheers
