There are several brands of LATEX foam on the market that are
routinely used in construction, by window installers, etc. IIRC, DAP
is one brand and is widely available. It has zero effect on glue
joints, so squirt away all you want and the results will be just fine.
Allow at least a day or so for the foam to cure before trimming off
excess. Water cleanup is also a great advantage.   HTH
