We don't use soft foam puppets much at all.  I think you're right that  it 
won't work very well where there's lots of flexing.  I use it mostly to  attach 
fake fur or other fabric to puppets or their costumes.  I've only  addressed 
the "hot car" part of the issue.

I've  been following this thread for some time now and am glad to find a 
winner  in the glue contest. I use hot glue for limited "seams" or joints.  
However, I was wondering, Nancy, how well the hot glue you're using works  on 
areas that get a lot of flexing and movement. My experience has been  that it 
is too rigid and tends to tear the foam, especially as the foam  wears out, 
which ends up with the mouth or whatever coming apart. So, I  only use the 
hot glue where there will not be any stress and flexing  (seams in back of 
head, etc.). What's your experience been  like?
