If you intend to use this as a work float for topside work, then it's edges
can't be too hostile and might demand fendering. The styrofoam is pretty
good in this respect. For this purpose, I think i'd cut my sheet of plywood
4 to 6" in length and breadth, glue it to the block with a cheap
construction adhesive and call it done.



Is construction adhesive what one should use to stick plywood to
styrofoam? Will it adhere OK. Other question: I will need to mount
cleats on the plywood. Will pressure from these cleats cause the
plywood to separate from the foam??
Thanks

Anything (and I mean ANYthing) that has any kind of aggressive solvent
will desolve styrofoam before your very eyes.

Carpenters (white?) glue should be ok.

Test on a small sample before selecting an adhesive.
