Default Great stuff caves
Just recently started using great stuff. Was using styrofoam sheets, but it is so muh easier to use. I hate the mess and time it takes to carve out styrofoam and stack it into layers. I used the styrofoam to make the basic shapes of my caves and used the great stuff to fill out everything else. I'll grout it and paint when its dry. Post a pic when it's finished.

The way it looks now, it should be used in a glacial setting -- a series of ice caves. I like it!

Out of curiosity, once fully cured, how hard is the GS?

Leopards or fat tails is what I'll use it for. The foam spray is a little spongy after it dries, bit since it has the grout on it it's hard.
