What do you rocommend as the best glue for holding styrofoam or that thin foam that can be purchased at a craft shop(can't remember the exact name) to a wooden base?
I have read PVA glue.
Any info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Go with PVA white glue or epoxy, if greater strength is required.

For multi-media connections I usually go with 2 part epoxy. One reason for this is because I have it handy all the time.

If it is for creating a groundwork then PVA will do the trick, if you need a stonger connection because there will be tension or pull on the styrofoam the I would also recommend epoxy.
There or several brands of epoxy, for household or for industriel usage (in you local DIY store), go for the industriel type, always better and stronger.
