Regarding the use of hot glue mentioned above...I'd be wary of that since the heat is going to melt/deform the foam and make a mess unless there is a method of using it in this application I am unaware of. Just my thoughts.

 

Melting can be an issue with exposed foam, but I have never seen a problem with foam core (which is what OP asked about). Even with the former, if you use low-temperature glue and wait for a bit of cooling before assembling, it is usually no problem.  The big advantage of hot glue is that it permits one to work much more quickly than with glues that have to set. IMO it is under-appreciated by many modelers.
