Aye, the foam shrinkage is pretty common in large areas like is being done here. After the initial cure sets, it is best to poke the thick parts with a wet meat skewer to allow the core to cure and out gas.


I suspect what happened here is that the ambient temperature was a tad higher when the foam initially cured than it was later on. With the gasses in the foam being trapped under a cured crust, they contracted a bit. You can try lancing the crust any way and increasing the ambient temperature for a few days in the tank to try and help stabilize the foam.

I find the Gorilla Glue works best for sticking foam back where it it belongs. It works really well for vivaria as it is a water activated urethane glue.
