Is araldite ok to use on a foam sandwich board for a quick fix?

Get some solarez or UVrez. Comes in a tube, cures on exposure to UV light. Easy to use, can be sanded, and safe for your board.

You have to be very careful with any epoxy or cyanoacrylate based glues with any foam. Make sure it does state foam safe and then test only the slightest drop on a bit of the foam to make sure it wont dissolve it.

I'm fairly sure epoxy is safe with any foam, unless it has a thinner in it.
EG an epoxy spray paint, (some high build 2 pack undercoat's are epoxy) if you use them in a spray gun with thinners, it will dissolve any styrene foam it contacts.
Other wise as Mark says araldite is safe with any foam, the 24hr stuff is way stronger than the 5min version. If it's all you've got in an emergency it will do a temp job of sealing the board, but won't restore structural integrity.

You could fix that by any method just fine, but might be a bit much filling to use resins. A proper repair with fibreglass and epoxy resin will cost you about $50 materials to do yourself and would be the gold standard.

But you are just as likely to smash it off again, and it is about a 2004 - 2006 model board so maybe not worth it??

Thus I would do it with Selleys "Knead-it" putty.

Rip the whole broken bit off, plug it all up with the putty, really force it in at the edges and let it set. Sand back starting with a file and 80grit all the way down to about 400grade wet and it will be totally blended in and almost invisible except for the colour being different.

Thanks guys, got the knead-it, I'll check out the kill rust paint if I feel the...knead

Sorry

Good work!!! Most people leave it as it, all dented and fingerprints and can't be bothered sanding. That is tops !!

I have seen others with flecks in, and it has gone off properly. I think it is always like that
