Gluing carpet to styrofoam

Trying to fasten carpet back to underside of the dash cooler on my 220 bow rider. Can't find a adhesive that will stick to Styrofoam. Tried 3M spray, Elmer's spray holds for awhile then comes loose. Any ideas on what will work ? Thanks

Never tried white glue, but have used epoxy. Works very well. I imagine polyester resin would work just as well and for a one-time use is much less expensive.

I had the same issue. I sprayed a coat spray glue on the styrofoam side first, let it get tacky, then sprayed it again along with the carpet side. I also put a few SS staples in it, it was enough to hold things together until it dried good. This was a couple of years ago and so far it's still stuck. The problem is the glue tends to soak into the styrofoam.
