Default Need replacement for Sorghum

I am looking for a water based contact glue, similar to Sorghum for balsa sheeting of foam. Sorghum has disapeared.
I have tried other systems such as Epoxy, Gorilla glue, 3M spray, iron down pva etc, but still prefer the contact system.
There are many water based contact adhesives for bench top lamintates advertised - has anyone tried them or can suggest an alternative?

The only brand I've ever used is foam safe 3M 77.

They have 2 left of Sorghum too (click on substitutions).

Price shown is in Canadian dollars.

I've shopped from Great Hobbies, they are the Tower Hobbies of Canada...great service.

Archie, if you look at the description for that it says "Not for Foam"

SIG CONTACT CEMENT A HANDY ADHESIVE FOR THE MODELING WORKSHOP: Bonds wood to wood, metal to wood, metal to metal, cloth to wood, cloth to metal, and many other combinations. To use, apply one coat to each surface, allow to dry to the touch, press parts firmly together. Use only for broad area bonding, do not use for butt joints. Do not use on foam!
