Question about installing slide switches

I am starting to install slide switches on my turnouts.  How do you fasten your slide switches to foam.  How do you secure them.

When I used them I made a pad of cork. Cut the and glue the switch ears to the cork.

I cut a hole as small as possible, then secure the switch with Liquid Nails for Projects.  Usually let it sit overnight, sometimes with a weight on it.
