Neil,
I don't know how well this would work, but here goes......
About six months ago, I was invited to show my car at the local high school, during the "tech" class.
During the demonstration, we talked about foam and fiberglass application, sanding, and so on.
After the kids had left, the class instructor and I were chatting about various things and he mentioned something that I had not yet tried.
Instead of using Elmers Glue, or even Epoxy to glue foam blocks together, he asked if I used a hot glue gun. I mentioned no, and further explained that I though the glue would end up being hot enough to "melt" the foam during application.
He went on to say that he thought there were glue melt sticks with extra low melt points, and suggested I look for them.
So Neil, I don't know if this would help or not, but a low melt point glue gun and sticks *might* help you put together foam blocks even when the temps are too cold for normal adhesives.
Just a thought, Jim.
