    Would expanding gap filling foam do the job?It comes in an aerosole can and can be found at any builders suppliers or the bigger hardware shops.Once it's cured I don't think it would be toxic as it has no smell.It's really light though so you'd have to add some weight somehow.If you sand the outer skin off it ,it's quite porous inside.Perfect for psoudo LR.
