Dow also makes some of their foam adhesive sealants in a larger, "Pro" size (more economical). Here is a link to them: http://greatstuff.dow.com/products/pro/
Of course, you will need the "gun" to dispense them. But if you are filling large cavities, the Pro size's "economics" may essentially pay for the gun - especially when you consider that you can partially use a a Pro can and put it away for later use. If you try that with the "consumer" cans, your days are numbered when it comes to using half a can now and the remaining later. I also notice they make a foam for pond and landscaping (P&L) use. Check it out if you are making items for outdoor use. Since the P&L is waterproof, it would most likely serve as a waterproof "plug" at the ends of a hollow column.
