No, the heater isn't glued into the foam.

I cut the foam freehand with the router, and the non-straight lines make the heat tape stick into the slot very well. It certainly isn't going to fall out, but it does have just a little wiggle room, so when batteries are set on top of it, they aren't going to gouge the heat tape or anything.
