Default What glue for EPS foam?

I was wondering if anyone can tell me what glue I can use to take 2 pieces of EPS foam measuring 2" thick to create a piece that is 4". I cannot locate anything here locally that is already 4" so I can cut it with a foam cutter. Thanks for anyhelp!

You should be able to use epoxy.

If you try to cut the foam with a hot wire cutter it wil not cut through the foam at an epoxied glue line, I have had success hot wiring foam that has been glued with 3m super 77. I hope this helps

Try using a polyurethane foam glue such as Gorrila Glue.
