I know that this is an old post, but I noticed that many people had trouble keeping the foam in place while taping it to the hoof. I have a couple of tricks for this:
First, roll a few pieces of duct tape over to make it double sided (like when wrapping gifts). Stick them on either side of the frog and at the toe (on the foam, not the hoof), and then stick this to the hoof. Put the hoof down for about 30 seconds to allow an imprint to form, then remove the pad and make a slight indent where the frog shows on the pad (about 1/4" deep). Re-stick the pad to the hoof (the frog cut out helps keep the pad from slipping around).
Then, continue with taping around the rest of the hoof.

Hi Erin,
If you vet wrap before you duct tape, then the whole thing is much easier to remove from the hoof.
In the absence of styrofoam, I have used flip-flops and an old shim pad.
