    I posted in the other one, but I'll go here to. Basically there is no such animal, the stuff from the store (great stuff foam) is junk and soaks up water like a sponge. Plus the cans don't hold much so it will end up costing you twice as much as buying real closed cell pourable foam.

    as atated above and it all will absorb water if constantly exposed to it.
