I use DAP original. I've tried the green can but got extremely poor results. It can take up to a whole day to dry and even then the bond is VERY bad. I was able to pull a seam apart with almost no effort at all. I'd strongly NOT suggest it.

Thank you, good to know = save time&money
As I've understood from net searching water-based won't work like solvent-based but still looking for different kind of cements,anyway,have anybody ever tried the RENIA adhesives? Looks like they make a good stuff but you never know...  http://www.renia.com/englisch/prodphotos.html
they also have some video about their products  http://www.youtube.com/user/reniavideos

It just dawned on me that your medium is normally not foam hand puppets but marionettes. Are we talking about adhesives for foam or wood?   There are two adhesives I've used on foam that work pretty good. FabriTac and Tacky glues. http://www.beaconadhesives.com/cgfab.html http://www.michaels.com/Aleene%27s%C2%AE-Original-Tacky-Glue%C2%AE/gc0040,default,pd.html  Neither are contact glues so you have to somehow hold your seam together while the glue sets but with the FabriTac that is not really that long. The Tacky takes longer. With foam I often use it and on a seam and then use straight pins to hold the foam seam together while it dries. 15 - 30 mins and you can normally pull the pins out although it takes longer to really foam a strong bond like most glues.  If you take into consideration that with contact you have to let it set up before you can put the pieces together sometimes these glues are actually faster.  Bond is just as good as with contact cements.  I prefer the FabriTack over the Tacky.

I've never used the RENIA products.

For foam   Generally speaking I make what clients are willing  pay for   I mean - puppetry or sculpture related stuff    I posted a couple or foam's projects on this forum

It's only a few examples of foam's puppets   Once I wanted to learn more professional way to build stuff so I ( sorry for soooo much " I " - my English vocabulary is poor   ) find a mascot company which was looking for a foam carver and I was working for a few months here. They use air compressor and spray gun for contact cement so the process and result a bit different , anyway, I have kinda obsession with a quality of materials and always looking for "the best"   my questions here are result of this obsession
BTW my faworite fabric glue  is  Gutermann . For some reason it isn't for sale in North America , I order it from Europe http://www.etsy.com/search/supplies?q=gutermann%20glue&view_type=gallery&ship_to=ZZ&min=0&max=0

Gutermann has an adhesive!? Well if it is anything like their threads then it is a quality product.  Wow... they even have a thread made out of recycled material... https://www.guetermann.com/shop/en/view/content/page_0000000HR2?node=comp_0000000DCN

Yes , they have it and good one! I always used it before I moved to Canada. I've asked a local Gutermann's distributor why they don't have this glue in stock. They said that it's a technical problem to send it by air  I have no idea what they are talking about,which problem can be with this stuff.
Some materials aren't for sell in retail stores here, for example - Poxipol epoxy glue, also very good product, maybe because it made in Argentina  ? maybe kinda embargo on this country? Actually, I don't remember I've seen anythink "made in Argentina", anyway, Poxipol - 5***** http://www.factorynet.com.ar/adhesivos/adhesivo-de-2-componentes/poxipol-transparente-700ml.html

I bought a small bottle of weldwood today. I couldnot find Barge's in my area. So which glue for foam should I get. Hotglue is not my favorite.

I use the Weld wood gel the regular was to thin for me.

I agree with Billy that I prefer the gel over the regular when I use the 3m Weldwood. Barge seems to hold better and longer but Weldwood is ok. Hotglue holds very well but I don't like working with it although many puppeteers do like it and suggest it. Here is a tip: When using hotglue you can keep a can of compressed air handy to cool down the glue once you place  your seams together. Since foam holds the heat of the glue so long this helps speed up the cooling process.
