I though about doing that, I need to find someone that can do it. I have had strainers on previous overflows with sucess. If it becomes a hassle I will remove it. Thanks for the thoughts though.

Ya its the "Great Stuff" in the red can, must be the red can. I think the blue can has an anti-mold agent in it making it toxic. Its pretty messy, holds the rock together really well though once dry. It never worked as well I wanted it to to hold rock rubble on, once it skins over and gets tacky it was better to jam small pieces into.
