Default Which glue?

There are construction adhesives made specifically for foam board.
Anything with a solvent base will NOT work and will eat huge holes
in the material. I would reinforce the joints with drilled and
glued wood dowels or all thread. I would remove the thin plastic
film from the face of the material where the glue joints occur if
you buy the type of foam that has it.

I am going to build a compartment, much like a chest freezer that
will incorporate a dorm fridge. The compartment will be made of
styrofoam or the blue insulating panels, and be to maintain a
fermenting temperature of 75 degrees inside for beer
fermentation. I need to join some sheets of styrofoam or the
blue insulated foam together.

Which glue would be best, and won't dissolve the insulation? Or
maybe get some of the wide foil refrigeration tape?

Ideas?
