hi, i want to make a back ground for 1 of my aquariums, but instead of using styrofoam i want to use spray foam.

what i was wondering is can i use normal spray foam found in hardware stores if i coat it with epoxy resin or is there something special used for aquariums.

THANKS.

By cured do you just mean once it hardens completely? I know people have talked about curing concrete by changing the water in the tank a bunch of times for a month or so. Do you have to do this same thing for the creat foam?

Also, what exact brand would you reccommend for this?

I think he may have meant Great stuff, that is the brand name.

"Cured" for spray foam means that the foam has sat for a day or two and all of the solvent as evaporated.
