2) Araldite
3) Quick-Cure 5 Min Epoxy 4.5 oz (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__8684__Quick_Cure_5_Min_Epoxy_4_5_oz.html)

You may use
BondTite TimeSavar (Clear)- 1 Minute Epoxy
BondTite Rapid - 3 Minute Epoxy

Both are FoamSafe.

But CA (though claims as FOAMSAFE, I Differ as sometime, it may ate. And if you want to use CA, stick cellotape and then CA so that both side foam can not come in contact with FOAM.

Thanks.

In any Hardware Store. (Not Computer Hardware Store). ;D
Just Search in Local Stores.
You may get Lot More.
And also search for CA available (Medium 460). [Always keep CA < 20O C ]
And test. EPO Foam is safer with CA special Medium. But Not EPS.

Thanks
