Glue for outfitting

What is everyone using these days for glue in their boats. I need to do a footblock and don't know what to use.

Get DAP Weldwood in the ***RED*** can from a hardware store - 4x the quantity at a fraction of the price. Sand the plastic and the foam. Apply thin coat - I like to use a piece of foam to apply glue b/c it's also a great squeegee. Let the glue dry thoroughly (not hard in CO), then add another thin coat of glue, let dry again, then slap it in there. When I've done this, I've never had any outfitting even begin to peel the slightest bit.

On the other hand, on account of laziness, my playboat is currently outfitted with minicell and duct tape, which worked great until I took it to the Canyon and the silt undid the tape after we passed the LCR.

FWIW
