Glue will not hold two warped pieces of foam together. 

But  GREAT STUFF will!  It will even fill the gaps. The new cans of GS have on(GREEN) /off (RED) nozzle control so you dont need to clean or remove the tube anymore. . . sort-of-works!

Once the GS has dried, the next step is to shape it a bit with a small saw or I use a Dremel with a large cutting disk.. Once shaped ( dont be concerned with detailing the foam) then apply lightweight joint compound over the foam with a small putty knife; again shape it a bit;. then WHILE the compound is WET rattle can spray on your colors like earth tones or a nice green ( Spray in across in bands to show geo-layers often found in cut-away rock) ; while the paint is wet apply ground covers grass and earth. Use a Dust Off spray to force the grass into hard to reach spaces. Wait a day or two then using spray glue from Woodland Scenics apply more grass and trees or whatever and let dry.

I after-spray with either silver, nickel, copper or gold metallic spray paint to get a "slight" reflective quality to the mountain work. Or for a darker feel,  lightly spray with black.

You can do large spaces this way. Be sure to tape and cover all tracks and background walls before doing anything. And remove the tape before running trains on that track!!.
