I'm in the process of a major rot repair in the rear of an Abbey Aventura 318, which involved replacing the floor frame and ply, reconstruction of the wall framing. now its time to replace the polystyrene insulation, Can anyone help with what adhesives I should use on the outer wall panels, they are fibre glass.

No nails melts the polystyrene, Im trying to find an adhesive that I can use to adhere the polystyrene to the fibre glass.
