    I've been using Superglue on all the foam in my build.

    It works great, bonds very well.

    I'd use 3M Contact spray, super 77 or high strength 90.

    Hot glue ( but get a temperature controlled glue gun

    Use this tut by familyman for the first part of your build (just checked and the pics have dissapeared, but it's still usable as tut)

    Mask them off with blue painters tape and paper or just tape if it's a small area. I also just about always put down newspaper first.

    The 3M sprays have a very accurate webby spraying nozzle that's directional. Very handy when applying the material.
