To avoid this in the future, I decided to mount the foam panels on thin cardboard and put a thin frame around them. I can now hang them like pictures. I placed little rubber feet on the four corners to stand them off the wall a bit and, although probably not needed, to avoid them vibrating against the wall.

Honestly I prefer the look of the tiles in frames. It gives them a finished look.
That's a smart move. If you're going to use foam, then that's the way to do it. Taking that stuff off the walls any other way frickin' SUCKS.
