I am about to put down the Great Stuff on my viv. I want to slate chippings on/in the great stuff to make a waterfall. Should I put the slate chippings in the uncured great stuff? If I do that than it will be harder to cut the foam. But if I don't then how will I put the slate chippings in the foam?

Let the foam cure then use a razor to cut out grooves and notches to fit the slate and silicon them in. The foam cuts and carves pretty easy with a sharp blade.

that seems like the most logic way to me if you plan on carving it
