You had newspaper- and foil-backed modifications?

You used one sheet of newspaper? Were you able to use one piece of foil or did you need to make it overlap?

Honestly, I would have thought three levels of protection would have been overkill. I am sorry that you learned otherwise!

Do you think that wax would work as a release agent with Great Stuff like it would with fiberglass resin?

With the way that my fog light plug project went, I was ready to purchase a small foam board and cut it to fit, but the spray foam worked out better than I had expected.
