Can you spray those expansive foam spray into a void and use a knife or something to tool or shape it? or do you have to wait till they expand and finish then trim/slice off excess?

Until it dries completely, it is a gooey mess.

You can use a wet bar of soap for rough shaping. Stick a handle of some kind on one side to hold it. But then the foam keeps expanding so it's kind of hard to determine what shape it will end up.

I was using a can of GS recently and the can developed a teeny leak. I couldn't stop it. Finally, I said "Fuck this!" and threw the whole shebang over the fence onto a power company right-of-way.
Some days later I was prowling through the weeds looking for something important that I had thrown over the fence (I throw a lot over the fence) and found the aforementioned GS menace.
All the GS had leaked from the tiny hole making a smooth, brown sphere about the size of a bowling ball with the can still attached.
I pulled out my knife and carved a face in the hardened glob, much like carving a pumpkin, and threw the sonofabitch even farther into the weeds.

That's funny, your private dumping ground, huh. You throw that much over that fence? Even important stuff? hmmmm

The face on the foam! even sounds scary.

For fifteen years, this 200' wide power line property was a good neighbor. Had some small hills, a copse of trees every 100 yards or so. One could watch the hawks making a nest and see an occasional bunny hopping about (no doubt that's why the hawks chose the neighborhood).
People rode their bikes, played softball, or just hiked or jogged down its length.
Then, late last year, the power company came through and ground up all the trees. They didn't chop them down, they had a stump grinder gizmo on a big-ass boom that they raised up and turned the trees into flakes from the top down! Sterilized the field, they did.
I'm a fuckin' STOCKHOLDER in Centerpoint (the power company). I called and raised more hell than the third monkey on Noah's gangplank while all this was in progress and was told the company was REQUIRED to cut down the trees by the Department of Homeland Security!
Bunch lying slugs, you ask me. Not even Homeland Security thinks terrorists grow on trees!

They are doing the same thing near me, it has to do with keeping the power grid safe. It's not the power company's rule, they are forced to do it. A crying shame, I feel badly for the people affected.

Yeah, but safe from WHAT?
Do the amorphous "they" think goblins are breeding in the mini-forests? Is is possible a 60' tree, 150 feet from a 200,000 volt line that's 100 feet in the air presents a problem? Are they afraid the emergency responders will collide with Mister Oak while trying to find a downed line?
