Be carful if you pour to much, If the tops are on and you pour threw a hole it can expand at a rate so fast it is easy to over do it and crack or swell the stinger case apart. When I did the ones on my 74 I cut the tops out then formed up the sides with wood a few inches higher than the stingers (mainly because I was raising them 2") and poured it in batch by batch. The foam rose up like bread in a bread pain crowing at the top higher than the forms. I simply took a 20" sawzall blade and shaped them to my liking on top then wrapped the tops with glass over lapping to the sides tabbing to the hull. If you are not raising them pour them like they sit then once the foam rises out of the cavities trim it flat to the top then glass the tops closed to get you box back enclosed for strength. The foam density may be effected if it doesn't have room to fully expand in an enclosed compartment or worse it splits something apart. I was filling pontoons on a work barge and found out the hard way splitting welds open as the foam had no were to go.
