Hi John,

Possibly this is some type of foam I have not tried.  The 2 types of
foam I am specifically speaking of are the "Great Stuff" soft and hard
formulations.  I have used both and while they would do fine
supporting the bottom of a shower stall as far as weight due to the
large surface area, they are far from water resistant when the shiny
outside skin is breached.  And they both get relatively soft when
worked down with sandpaper.

Laters, Colin.
