Thanks!

I have a chair I'm reupholstering and there is cardboard shaping the armrests.  I've considered removing but the shaping under the arm is nice and I don't know that I can recreate it.  It's not an expensive piece - just like the sitting style. 

The cardboard has collapsed a bit - there is a wood piece underneath to keep it from collapsing further.  I've been trying to think about how to push it up to return the curved shaped and I realized that this may be an interesting experiment using expanding foam. 

Anyone ever tried supporting the frame and contours using expandable foam spray?  I know I'd need to seal the gaps to keep it from coming out - I want it to expand and push out the curves.  I can pad it a bunch but I'm intrigued to see if this would work.
