    This is an EXTREMELY odd question, but since this IS ‘everything else’ I might as well try and ask:

    When I have two foam rubber plates I want to connect permanently, what is the most reliable method to use?

    a nail could slide out over time. Good start to the thinking, though.

    EDIT: Keep in mind this connection WILL be STRESSED.

    I’m going to use 6 foam plates as the base for a giant plush cube.

    …no, I have none. I thought I’d be a wise man and plan a project before starting =p

    Do the plates need to be able to move? If not, craft stores carry special glue for that type of foam.

    They need to retain some of their bend, up to 1/5th of their height.
    Any idea what kind of glue this would be?

    Grrrrr; can’t get ahold of any of my friends who do crafting like that. If it’s an actual crafting store (so not a WM or other mega store =P) you could ask the salespeople for advice? I’m not much help, I tend to go to google and wade through 50 or so articles to see which answer comes up the most often with the most sound logic. ^^
