Default How to glue Foam?


Sorry for asking in RC planes but I thought it was the logical choice of a place to ask this question.
My wife is working ona project involving the use of styrofoam. She is making an indoorwaterfall and will layer pieces of the stuff up.. The styrofoam will be coated with a waterproofing and painted so the glue does not have to be waterproof.
I know many of you make planes from either that or something similar.
She would like something that works fairly quickly.
I guess she could try some CA foam safe glue but that's a little pricey.
She tried her hot glue gun (40w) and it worked while heating up but was too hot once it got to temp.
I assume she could go to a lower temp glue gun and they are pretty cheap.
But I though with all the experimenting you all do that somebody has come across something that has reasonable cost and works pretty quick.
I have heard that Weldbond and Gorilla Glue works pretty good too but I was not sure about cure time.
Anyone have a cheap solution that isfairly quickbonding?
