Why can't you use the foam from Lowes (spray can) that fill holes. I don't see why that wouldn't work as good.

Very Very important the "marine grade foam" is a close balloon system, which does not absorb water. The foam found in Lowes/Deopt is a insulator and will absorb water and break apart once wet, just not the same ..

all foam will hold water, but the marine grade will hold much less. And have you priced a can of that Lowes stuff x 100 can's WOW!!
The stuff you buy and mix is pourable, get in all the tight spaces.
