3M makes a "Foam Adhesive" which is a spray on just like '77 and would be an excellent choice for this application as it will stick to both the Mylar < plastic > and the foam. Make sure you "Frame" is at least 2 1/2" wide , if it's 1" thick foam, to provide enough strength to resist the lateral stresses that are going to be inflicted on it by the tension-ing of the Mylar. You may also want to consider adhering the Mylar to a piece of 1/8" or 1/4" foam-core, that may help with the transportation, and reduce wobble.
