Me too. Loctite's Power Grab works also. Just make sure that you read on the label that it's "Foam Safe". Anything with strong solvent will melt foam. They make lower temp hot glue guns that extrude foam safe hot glues. If you're gluing up large surfaces though the glue will chill below liquid before the pieces are in place. For large surface I'd go with structural adhesives.

I too like Loctite Power Grab. An additional benefit is that it's available in a resealable tube, in case you only need a small amount - it will last longer than trying to keep a tube that goes into a caulking gun. I'm sure that other adhesives are available in similar packaging, but I've found Power Grab to be a good value.
