Attaching basement pole covers with "Great Stuff"?

Mike <ls1m...@gmail.com>

I bought some nice looking octagonal oak surrounds for my basement
poles.  I've glued them up and they look pretty nice, albeit a bit
70's (but I'm not looking for decorating advice).  How do I attach
these things to the posts?  I thought about using an expanding foam,
but experience suggests that this could be a PITA (Great Stuff is very
good at pulling glue joints apart).  What kind of expanding foam is
well suited to this?  Any other suggestions?
