Fevicol SR 998* or Equivalent is Synthetic rubber based adhesive and contains solvent that will melt most foam. Depending on foam you are using you can use use the glues already suggested or for certain foams like Elapor only cyano is recommended. If using epoxy (araldite) you need to keep in mind that the glue joint will be brittle and not flex

Well the Fevicol Sh takes a long time to dry specially in humid weather.... Fevicol has come out with new quick drying types..... Maybe we can try that and it should be fine.  At Allahabad and Lucknow I could not buy it.... maybe you will find it and use it well... they are Fevicol Rapid X and Favicol Pur 1
