Does anyone have a recommendation for what kind of glue might work well to attach this kind of non-slip foam to wood?
I’m remaking my spoil board and the gorilla glue that I tried doesn’t seem to have stuck well
Honestly, I’d just use a hot glue gun. I use hot glue a lot in the shop. It sticks to wood really well and would also provide anti-slip properties, and it’s cheap and dries fast.

getting foam to glue well is harder than it should be, too manu glues disolve
the foam
for a temp thing where the thickness of the glue doesn’t matter, hot glue can
work
if you do a quick search for ‘foamies’ or ‘poor man’s fiberglass’ you will find
a community that builds campers and trailers from foam, they have a lot of
videos testing the strength of different glues. I’m in the middle of moving so I
can’t easily pull up my references.

I’ve used spray carpet glue in the past, which worked really well

I’d look for car interior upholstery and headliner adhesives, that’s pretty much exactly what they are used for.

That is great to hear! I was thinking of giving one of those spray adhesives a go, but they are a little pricey so I wanted to hear if they were actually any good 
Yes, they can be very strong! I used the 3M one (I think) 20+ years ago on my vintage mustang and it’s still holding up. Two pro tips: 1) make sure to wear gloves, 2) sometimes doing a base layer on each side then letting it dry a bit helps before spraying again and adhering the two. I think sometimes the substrate absorbs some glue and this helps prevent that.
Good luck!

Absolutely fantastic for wiping out wasps’ nests, so long as the wasp nest ain’t on something flammable.
