I uesd the 1x type foam on my layout. I did forget to mention that. oops. Looks like I'm pretty much the only one that has either used or like using it. I had no real problems with it except the fact is does stick to everything. I just kept a bowl of water handy if I needed to guide it any. I simply dipped whatever I was going to use in the water and had no problems. Just me though. Here is a picture of my layout where I used the can foam. [img]http://www.railimages.com/albums/jeremywallace/aax.sized.jpg[/img] From the blue Rock car all the way up the cut was filled using can foam. I cut it back and used hydrocal and rock castings. Oh and believe it or not from the bridge down to the BN car on the other side of the train, is only half plaster. The rest is exposed can foam carved and painted. The left side of the train, with the grass strip going up the hill to the bridge is also all can foam. Remember that I only used it to fill gaps. The bulk is insulation board and 1X4's for support. Yes this stuff can be difficult but it can also be very useful. Also just me. Jeremy
