Which epoxy do you use on the foam so it won't melt, can't remember.

JS,

From what I recall, epoxy doesn't really melt foam, it's CA's that do.  And
if you use a CA, shoot for the odorless variety.  As they are normally
foam-safe.  But read the bottle or try a test sample prior to use.

Try some Polyurethane glue like "Gorilla Glue". It wont melt foam. It
expands to fill gaps as it cures. It cures by exposure to moisture in
the air. Get only as much as you need because it tends to harden in the
bottle after you open it. You can keep it in the refrigerator to extend
its shelf life.
