I've built a depron wing by laminating sheets using 3m 77 spray adhesive: ebay link here
it works really well and didn't dissolve the foam  ;D

You can get a lifetimes supply of bostick glue sticks from here I got a batch for using with my 3d printer  ;)

Cheers   mate , just looked at 3m can .
"3M 77 is a multi-purpose spray adhesive that is "foam friendly" and is ideal for laminating paper drawings to Depron sheets or laminating Depron sheets together.

The nozzle has three spread settings so that you can control the spray pattern. You can also control the amount of "tack" that the adhesive has on the bonded materials e.g if left for several minutes prior to bonding, paper can be peeled easily from Depron at a later stage."

Does this mean you can stick the plans to the depron and peel them off after ?

Spraying 1 side it should peel off and spraying both is should act like a contact adhesive.

I use Gorilla Glue for my foam builds, you need some pressure while it drys tho... The better potion could be Uhu Por. Again used like a contact adhesive it's good
Fly Foam!                         (and PU Adhesive)

Got this glue today (thur )  its a pva type glue .

"Hi-Tack Fast-Tack. Similar to Gold Hi-Tack but with a faster drying speed. Not suitable for washing or dry-cleaning

Suitable for paper, wood, trimmings and household use. 

A very sticky glue for fast hold and also fast dryin "

Tried it on scrap foam board to FB  , its repositionable if your quick and  sticks them really well .
