I would save some money though and do the fabric coating bonding with titebond II, save gg for foam to wood or foam to foam joints..

I used a piece of wet cloth and a hot iron. Lay the wet cloth over the writing and press with a hot iron. As long as steam is being formed you're OK. As soon as the cloth starts to dry out the temperature can go up rapidly and melt the foam. The foam will expand back to it's original size and the depressions will be gone (works for dents too.)
