Most DIY outlets have a polystyrene foam in an aerosol can. They have a flexible plastic spout to get into places. You will have a few minutes to push it in with a spatula or similar and it is best to apply in several goes to build up a layer. Its permanent and waterproof. Good luck.

I've used "Great Stuff" to seal cracks between the railroad ties in my retaining wall. It has worked well but the instructions on the can warn that it is subject to attack from UV light.

I spray painted all of mine black. it has been in place about 8 years,.

Use the spray foam. It will expand greatly overnight. Allow to dry a few days then "trim" it flush.

i had a problem with my skylight leaking in my roof, i didn't have the proper stuff to use for it, so i used bathtub caulk- it sticks to most anything and is waterproof and not very expensive.
