So, I'm building up the top of my steel bumper to have it blend smoothly over the hood. This part will be used to pull a mold, which will be used to make a CF 1 piece front end for my race car.

I've got a 2" section of styrofoam on top of the steel bumper and need to attach another 1/2" of foam to it and then seal it up. I have a fiberglass repair kit and the epoxy that came with it just eats the styrofoam.

Any suggestions?

Regular white wood glue will work.

I've made many a mold out of styrofoam by painting it with white glue then covering it with paper and painting more glue over it.
Once it's cured just wash it out with thinners and the foam is gone. Then wash it (soak it for a while) with water and the paper and glue is gone.
