Lessons, lessons, lessons. Ya know why you rarely see backgrounds built outside of the tank? Because they never work out well in the end. Most people either give up and do it in a conventional way, or fight with it for a while get it to fit and end up rebuilding it when it pulls away after some time

Michael, this is all something that you can't rush. A lot is hurry up and wait. I think you are finding that out now. Foam needs at least 24 hours to cure, sometimes longer. I have had foam that I applied heavily and still hadn't cured 3 days later. Take your time. Don't rush things, your tank will look better in the end.
