Hi
Have this head 1.4m span to board and all the polystyrene is on show, so not a lot to bond too. Also no surprise its out of level by over 10mm.
Need to bond 2mm at 1 end and 12mm at the other.
Was wondering what the consensus on how you would bond.

1. Board Adhesive and dont worry about the window / polystyrene edge.
2. Grab Adhesive - Any preference on type. Grill Fill, Pink Grip, Mega Grip etc.

Cheers

Looks like theres plenty to dab a board on while keeping a decent margin to me.But if its as tight as you say stick it with 6mm glassroc.
 
use dry wall adhesive, stick the reveals first, leaving a gap for the head board to slide in and be supported by the reveals. you will have to cut a baton to support the head until the adhesive sets.
 
Solvent based Gripfill will melt the polystyrene, but there is plenty of metal there to stick to. Use Dib & dob adhesive.
 
Cut your reveals so they are level at the top cut n stick the head prop in middle n then stick the reveals on to hold the edges plenty of metal on that head.
 
Like has been said, grease over wth dab, make sure all ur reveals are same width, plenty of dabs on then level + make sure margin same width all around window
