	Google foam rubber adhesive. There are lots of products like this. If there are upholstery or mattress shops in your area they would know also. __________________ Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. Ben Franklin

	Use a suitable adhesive for the material. Since there is a wide variety of material foam sheeting is made from can be more specific then that. __________________ Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty, pristine body but rather to come sliding in sideways, all used up and exclaiming, "Wow, what a ride!"

	Are we talking about FOAM INSULATION SHEETS here? USE DUCT TAPE! __________________ "Veni, Vidi, Vici"; hendiatris attributed to Gaius Julius Caesar, 47 B.C.

	If it's Styrofoam, do not use anything but a water based adhesive, or some type of tape.
