It would be easy for people
So what use on different kinds of foams,  balsa, coro,etc.

I use rubber cement like fevibond bondfix or quickfix on coro to coro surface joints. And for coro to coro 90 degree joints i use feviquick.

And for foam to foam joints i find fevicol a lighter and stronger than hotglue though not quicker.

Corro fevibond or feviquick thick(it's very hard to get one of these and these are actually medium not thick,  the shop from where I used to get one of these no more stocks them, so I just use a local CA and modify it to thick)
Hot glue for foam
Quickfix for balsa
And epoxy for carbon spars

Before anyone ask feviquick thick?  What?
It's like a fevibond tube smaller in size
And it doesn't say feviquick thick
Rather it  is (was) six months old and the ca that comes is thicker and I say (apologies) it's feviquick thick because from where I used to bought it sell it by the name feviquick thick and I have got used to it
Also I know spelling of feviquick is fevikwik

well , its just the luck that you get the one which i have
it doesn't have any label
but you can turn it into thick by shaking it hardly till bubble are form
and open the cap
then put a roughed up ear bud and put it in
leave the the thing for a day or two in place deprived of any cold and sunlight
also it should not have much dust but a lot of air(you can use a fan for air)
if only the bubbles forms gets hard the ca will get very thick
BUT MIND THAT I HAVE TESTED THIS A HELL LOT OF CA(s) ONLY ONE OF THEM GETS THICK
OTHER JUST BECOMES HARD AS A BRICK

Balsa- Fevicol SpeedX(Takes about 1 hour) and QuickFix. Used to use CA, But have developed a wierd reaction to it(Runny Nose etc)
Coroplast: Hot Glue
Epoxy only when required.

For foam to foam I use Araldite Klear 5-Minute Epoxy. It works really well.
