3M spray adhesives might give you much easier application... 77 and 90 are both nice, though testing on a small piece of foam (with any adhesive) is a good idea. You didn't stay what flavor of foam, and some dissolve easily.

Cheers,

3M spray foam is great stuff, but it will dissolve pink rigid insulation foam if you lay it on thick.
I don't know what it will do with foam core.

Yes... I've used it without difficulty on Divinycell, but if the foam is polystyrene I would be wary. 3M claims that the 77 adhesive is OK on foams, but I haven't read the fine print to see which.

“Gorilla Glue” is a brand of solvent-free polyurethane adhesive, suitable for use on “foam”.
The Gorilla Glue Company has several types of adhesive, so check their application chart for compatibility:

thanks everyone basically what i want to do is glue the new 4 infoam cushions i got for the vberth to the 1 in wooden slats to help with airflow under the berth. looking at their site they say gorilla glue is good for foam so i thought this would be the way to go.

Yah, there's another nice thing about Gorilla also - it foams on curing, so makes a good void-filler. Should be good.

Gorilla glue, or polyurethane, is great stuff. Add a dash of water from a spray bottle to get it to foam more. But it does dry rigid, and I think 3m77 or 90 is better for this application. They changed the solvent in 77 a few years ago and it is more agressive. Usually fine if you don't use too much but a scrap test is a good idea.

I used gorilla glue to attach a open cell foam to PVC board for a back rest on my son's boat. It worked just fine. You should put some weights to "clamp" the foam to the wood slats. I was impressed since most glue won't stick to PVC.
