Nothing special. Use thin CA glue on the sidewalls only. A little goes a long way. I mainly use this to stiffen up the sidewalls to prevent traction rolling on real high bite tracks.

For foams on carpet, I use CRC Non-Chlorinated Brake Cleaner (The Green Can). It works great and is only a few dollars a can. No ill effects that I've ever noticed. I saw someone once soak their really small foams in cleaner (Stick-ET) and the glue actually dissolved a bit and the foam spun off the wheel at the start of a race! But we never "soak" the foam. You spray the cleaner onto a paper shop towel and then wipe down the foams.
