Default Foam wings

I use to use 3M-77 adhesive to sheet the wings, but have been told that 3M has changed the formula and this stuff now eats the foam. Does anyone know if this is true? I heard Gorilla Glue works good also.
Any info on these two questions?

It's the propellent that attacks non-EPP foam. Go to JoAnne's fabric store (or similar place) and get the Reitz brand of spray adhesive and it will not use acetone as part of the propellent.

I like to use just regular Elmers wood glue. Don't have to worry about the foam getting messed up. Just my two cents. Good luck

Just a tip - I found SUMO glue from Locktite, it is a PU glue like Gorrila but expands 75% less.

Duck brand vinyl flooring tape is double sided and doesn't weigh anything. After curing overnight, it sticks like iron. I got mine at Lowe's.
