Contact adhesives can be used to glue foam together. Landau Top & Trim Contact Adhesive is specifically recommended for this, as is K-Grip and Kwik-Spray. The latter comes in two different formulations: a heavy viscosity 225 and a 220. These adhesives can be sprayed from a regular spray gun but a [http://www.crittersprayproducts.com/ Critter] spray gun is especially useful because its container is a standard Mason jar. To change glues, simply switch jars, and cap the one not being used.

Another small spray gun that works well with K-Grip and K-Spray is the EZE TB 2A sprayer from Chick Tool Co.  It is designed specifically to spray these types of glue, and is less expensive than the Critter Sprayer.  [[File:Example.jpg]]
  
 
K-Grip and Kwik-Spray are useful in foam-to-foam applications because they produce less fumes. In addition, they don't need to be perfectly dry to put the two pieces of foam together, and aren't as aggressive as the top and trim adhesive, while being equally effective at holding foam together.  These two products are perfect to glue fabric, vinyl, leather, and Ultraleather to sew foam.
