Reply to "Expanding / spray foam for mountains"

I took the new cloth dowstairs this morning, and was greeted by this:

The foam I had piled up, continued to expand and dry over the past two days, and it pulled it off the lattice and bulged upwards.  The tower in the picture was actually leaning about 15 degrees or so to the right! (In my haste to fix what happened, I failed to get a picture.) Luckily there was enough foam that I was able to cut off the top to create another flat area for the tower. I used a "Japanese flush cut saw" (used for cutting trim around door frames when installing hardwood or tile.) I also trimmed off the "round" that was directly over the tunnel portals. 

Issue number two: either the shrank or the plaster cloth swelled! ��

You might also be able to see on the picture above, that it's worse on the left side. I don't know if I can re-wet it, to get it to conform to the current shape or not?

I again would recommend letting the foam dry for a good 72 hours before adding anything else, covering with anything, etc. 

With my schedule this week, and daughters birthday on Saturday, I won't be able to get back down to it till Sunday, and honestly I think the additional drying time couldn't hurt.
