How to Glue Foamboard
Building craft projects with foam board or foam core board requires an adhesive that does not break down the foam. Using the wrong adhesive will eat away at the structure of the foam, causing your craft project to fall apart shortly after assembly. Different types of adhesive will bond the foam board, although the safest type requires no heat to melt the glue and does not emit flammable fumes.
