Thanks Buly,  Now that you mention it, I've used contact cement on the
foam also.  I get it from a local upholstery shop and spray it from a
paint gun.  (I've been slowly reupholstering the interior while waiting
for fiber glass to set up.  Unfortunately, the air compressor blew up
the other day.  The pressure switch quit working and the compressor ran
until the over pressure release valve opened.
