Default Foam spray

Has anyone used a spray in foam for buoyancy? in the hull of their boats.I think some of that spray in stuff expands to much. I was wondering if anyone used anything and what was the results.

Use with caution. If its in an enclosed space on a hot day it has been known to come back to life, and the force of expansion can be greater than the deck to hull join strength.
It is less buoyant than air, so allowance has to be made for its weight.
