My father and I used to buy super glue accelerant to build model airplanes. They used to come in huge brown bottles for $3.99 but that was years and years ago. I would still try at those kinds of shops, though.

@KayHeL You can heat the foam with a heat gun and then press it over a bowl or other hard round object. I have seen Female Shepard armor made this way.
