: It won't melt it. Epoxy is one of the preferred adhesives for all
: types of foams.

CA glue (cyanoacrylic) is supposed to be good for styrofoam, builder's foam and the like.
If you want to use foam to create a mold, you'll need to use some kind of a release or the epoxy will adhere....you could cover it with clear tape and then use a release wax.
