I used to use 6" PVC pipe, A/C Foam, and regular-Non-toxic when dry spray paint to make some pretty cool log-looking hide boxes.

Biggest trick to the A/c foam is to apply ("Spray" VERY little in respect with how Big you want the result to be---it Expands A LOT!!!

Do some testing with the foam expansion before you actually use it on a project to see what I'm talking about.

Good Luck!

PS. You can get the A/C foam at Walmart, any hardware store.
