It’s a bit of a long story but someone tried using spray foam to fill the hole around where my sink’s plumbing goes through and it seems like it essentially expanded too much and causing the paint to tear.

I was thinking maybe I could get some rigid insulation cut it to size, stick it in there, and spackle over it followed by painting it. I would probably cut the rest of the paint to the top because it looks as if it is going to tear eventually and it’s at an angle.

Any suggestions?

The gap is close to an inch in size.

    You fix the problem, not mask it.

    Looks like the foam expanded and pushed the cabinet away from the wall.

    Cut the foam back so the cabinet can rest where it belongs, and keep your friends away from spray foam.

      Especially when there’s foam that is made to expand less, and sealers that don’t expand at all
