Great Stuff foam question

Sadly, it will run. You may be able to get away with doing small patches, working from bottom to top, but it may take several applications. Patience would be key to doing it that way. Spray a bit, let it cure. Move up to the next spot and so on. It may hold better that way.

Thanks for the help, Bill. That's kind of what I expected (even though it's not was I was hoping for!)

I guess I'll have to hold off on finishing my build, or see if I can get someone to come over to move the tank for me. I don't want to risk messing up my tank.

Cris,

You could cut a piece of Egg crate light defuser (cut it so it will fit against the back wall of the 40b Vert). Then lay that on a piece of carboard and foam onto it and build your background out of the tank. Once you have it foamed and covered than you can simply silicon it into the tank.

If you try it this way I would test fit it after the foam has cured to see if you need to trim it a little to help it fit.

I think I'll probably just resort to the tried and true method of bribing a friend to help. "Hey want to come over for some pizza and to move a frog tank?"
