here's an "in progress" photo of laying pre-thermoformed and fitted corecell planks onto the forward portion of the inner starboard hull form mold.
I found it quicker and easier to thermoform and fit ten inch wide planks and temporarily tack them in place with 2in. x 2in.x1/4in. squares here and there with one sheet rock screw. Once I had ten or so planks formed and ready to edge glue, I numbered them, with a sharpy pen then switched over to the gluing process.
This seemed to go quicker than forming, fitting and gluing one plank at a time.

Have you considered using polyurethane glue, it's a lot less trouble then gluing with resin and endorsed by Ian F if I recall correctly. There is no strengh requirement for the joints between the foam and this way you can glue as you go without having to mix, worry about gel time etc.
Look in Home Depot or a hardware store for Gorilla Glue.
