Working with foam

Cutting Foam: To keep straight when cutting your foam, use a permanent marker and ruler to draw cutting lines, and cut down in layers, a few centimetres deep at a time. If the foam is thin enough, simply use long bladed scissors. A craft knife is a great tool for cutting foam. Place a new blade into your craft knife holder, and extend the blade to its full length.
A sharp kitchen knife, such as a carving knifing or serrated bread knife, will do a great job of cutting through thick, firm foam.
Use an electric knife, for meat or bread for cutting lots of foam, or if you have thick &/or dense foam.

Glueing foam and wadding:The easiest glue for foam is a contact spray adhesive, such as Ados. Spray contact adhesive is sprayed onto each surface first. Wait for 15-30 seconds before placing surfaces together. Hold in place until they fully bond. 

Calico plasters and pulls: Calico can be glued onto foam with contact adhesive. They are used to provide extra strength to glued joints or for creating rounded edges to foam. Calico strips can also be glued onto foam to use as "pulls" which are then stretched down and stapled onto the frame.   

Attaching foam and wadding:
If the foam or wadding is being attached to a wooden frame a staple gun is a quick and easy method. A tack hammer and tacks can also be used. When wrapping wadding around a piece of foam, such as a seat cushion inner, a paper stapler can be used to secure the wadding edges together. It can also be hand sewn or glued on.
