Ok, I did a little research on the glue. It looks like this is the best:

Polystyrene to Wood - Elmer's ProBond Polyurethane Adhesive

This to That (Glue Advice)

Unfortunately, the best deal I found was 6 gallons for $95.64 + $50 shipping.

I can probably use much less of the probond as it is stronger and more suited for the poly-to-wood application. The problem with PVA is it is only meant for porous materials (not polystyrene), but many people working with polystyrene say it works.

What should I do? I have no idea how much glue each of my panels will require, but I bet its a lot. They are 4'x ~3.5' x 1' with 1" wells.
