UHU Por is the main contact glue for foam and it can be pretty strong if you let it cure before you start stressing it. A stronger option in my opinion would be gorilla glue but it's messy and if u got some cheap arse velcro it will go through the velcro backing but if you put just the teeniest bit and apply pressure while curing it's super strong and you will pull the foam away before the glue lets go.

Or good old 2 part epoxy works well

Thanks guys , I was hoping to use UHU  but thought it was for foam only , got gorrilla too , could epoxy be too brittle ,but its not going to flex in that pos so might use epoxy , thanks  .
