You can also use Foam Safe CA glue and some accelerator. This seems to hold real good on clean breaks. If there are small chunks of styrofoam missing then use the expoxy.

And as for the dowels.... i just use those round toothpicks.
Good Luck

Status: offline 		Take a look at this thread. I made some suggestion here that may help you out.

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7094605/tm.htm

In your case, using the UHU on all four sides (top, bottom, in front of and behind the broken part) and then applying UHU in the joint where the two broken pieces are, then once set, applying the blenderm tape to on both sides of the break centered over the break should hold it together. The blenderm sticks very well to the UHU after application. Almost like contact cement, but stronger.
