Mr. Bamford,

Try Elmers "white glue" or "carpenter's glue" -- add weights and wait !

the latex based liquid nails works very well, but can be difficult to control. where white glue pretty much disappears when it dries, the liquid nails retains its full dimension and if it oozes out from the pieces you are bonding it will cause you grief. removing the excess liquid nails might end up with unwanted removal of the foam.

Yellow or carpenters glue works well for me. I'd stay away from white glue as it is subject to softening in water which hydrocal will absorb in a humid enironment and conduct to the glue bond.
