RE: covering foam aircraft
Is this a secret project? You sure don't seem to want to give out any info.
If it's a park flyer, just paint it with water based paint. If it's a scale model, sheet everything, then fiberglass it. If it's a combat model, cover it with packing tape.....
I can go on, but I doubt this is helping much. How about some more info now?

It seems you are reluctant to give too much away, so I will answer your specific question.
Epoxy will not melt the foam.
