Leatherman:

Yup, right on! You must use very light coats to get it to "build" on the surface. If you spray a bunch on, it just sinks out of sight before drying, and you don't get any more than if you give it a light spritz. It won't stick any better, either, as the glue is now 1/8" or more from the surface.

Once it's tacky, it will stay up. Three light coats was enough on mine -- there are spots along the edges that don't stick completely, but I didn't get a whole lot of adhesive on the hood there either, not wanting to coat the outside, too.

If you want to really get carried away and use the lead foil padding, you will likely have to find another way to hold it up, I don't think the foam will hold the weight vertically like that, no matter what adhesive you use!
