Our refrigerator has two little nubs built into the door that holds the butter door on. One of the two nubs cracked off, exposing the insulating foam underneath. I was going to use a super glue variant on it until I read the package which states not to use it on foam. Which glue is best to use in this situation?
If you will first thoroughly wet all the pertinent surfaces, your shower curtain will cling all by itself and greatly reduce the irritating billowing and waving, also the leaks to the outside on both ends. I just toss handfuls of water everywhere I want the curtain to seal off and stick down. Good luck-
I wouldn't try to primarily use any adhesive for this, it would be better to use a brad nailer. This will be easier, faster and stronger (and cheaper, if you already have or don't count the cost of buying the nailer itself).
Mark the studs, and put a nail in the groove (which will be hidden by the next piece).
You only really need adhesive for the top row. I'd put it on the bottom row as well, just for good measure, but the bottom row can usually be nailed or even screwed to the wall at the bottom where it will be covered by baseboard.
Since it's not really holding much weight, 'No More Nails' would work, as would basically any silicone or construction adhesive.

An epoxy may be your best choice for a problem such as this. Most epoxies do not react with foam products. On the negative side, cold temperatures are not conducive to good bonds, which may result in days or weeks of cure time if the refrigerator is in use.
Even though you reference not using a CA type of glue, you'd be applying it to the plastic surfaces and not to the foam. You would have no strength by applying adhesive to the foam regardless of your selection.

The above video shows a series of tests performed on plastic being attached to steel, using various types of epoxies and a couple of CA glues. The winner, in my opinion, is the Loctite Gel Control Super Glue. I've used this product and it's easy to apply exactly where needed.
You would be able to avoid applying it to the foam and even a bit of overflow would cause no problem. If you want to ensure no contact, consider to apply a layer of ordinary wood (or paper) glue aka PVA glue to the foam (only) to seal the surface, but I think that's overkill.
Another super glue type adhesive with which I've had success is DAP Rapid Fuse, which is a bit more expensive, but good product often costs more.
If you absolutely have to avoid CA glues, it appears from the video that the old standby, JB Weld may have sufficient strength. I can attest that it's strong stuff and has worked well for me in the past.
