Got the foam and its not the same as the stuff im my Peli case. I think its even better! very dense stuff should protect my kit and top it flying around.

Are you really sure PVA or the glue used in hot glue guns is really suitable for foam-foam applications?

Well i am going to do some testing obviously , and it's foam-metal.
There is specialist glue you can use but I don't think its worth it as I cant source it here and would have to pay crazy shipping, and for it to be only used once. Not very cost effective in my opinion.

Ok, I was just asking as a family friend used to do crafts and did alot of things with all different types of foams and found the best thing to use was a contact adhesive I think she said it was. Like a cement. I "think" you can get it at crafts stores, or stores like home depot and what not. I don't know for sure as I live in Oz and she used to live in the US.

The contact adhesive i tried just refuses to spread on foam evenly and if you don't get it right with that stuff it looks awful with an orange smear.
The hot glue gun worked great when the glue wasn't very hot but when i is a highest temperature the foam melts and the PVA was useless but it takes time to set so ill come back to see how its faired.
Honestly i think if im careful ill use the glue gun and just do it slowly and get the best result.

They actually sent me 2" thick piece instead of 3" like i ordered.
Luckily i did cut it up yet, that would have gone well.
