For foam to foam I prefer gorilla glue, if there are gaps I use folded great stuff.
For foam to wood I mostly use PLpremium, first I bore holes in the foam, that do not go through. Then pump them full of PLpremium. A thin layer of PLpremium then locks the wood to the glue "bolts". For non stressed areas I also use Gorrilla glue to bond wood to foam.
For my foam boats I use cotton bed sheets, on my Teardrops, I use 8 oz canvas.
For foam to fabric adhesion, TBII
I wrap the whole tear in one layer of canvas, joints don't need an extra layer.
To stick fabric over fabric I use more TBII.
Any exterior house paint will work, porch and floor might be tougher, all work fine in my experience.
Buy oops paint to fill that thirsty canvas, if you find a color you like, use it inside the tear.
Since most tears live outside, exterior paint is best inside as well.
I also believe that perforating the foam with a warner 250
Is the best way to get a good foam to anything bond
