1. They hold together well with simple wood glue?
2. The foam doesn't melt with the fiberglass resin?
3. Body filler sticks to it without issue?
Thanx!

The foam pieces are initially held together with Elmers Wood Glue.
The epoxy used to hold the fiberglass to the foam, is designed not to attack the foam itself. Polyester resin on the other hand does attack the foam, so be careful if you use that.
I no longer use a product like Bondo body filler on fiberglass, as in my experience, it does not stick to the fiberglass epoxy very well.
Just recently, the underbody fiberglass panels were off the car for maintenance, and just about all the Bondo is falling off from the fiberglass. I would not recommend it.
The epoxy/micro-balloons however work great, stick well, and allow one to sand down the extra thickness, so I would recommend that product.
