I would also expect that the rate and quality of the “curing” would be impacted
by the ambient temperatures and humidity levels/climate at a given location.
In much of New England the temperature can easily vary by more than 120 degrees
in the course of a year – and significantly more in the great plains states.
And the climate can very enormously from the generally wet/humid East to the
desert SW. This has to have an impact.

the other problem is that the foam may not "cure" properly in a sealed
(or nearly sealed) container. The tesla coil community has fooled with
this to make large toroids by doing stuff like filling a truck tire
inner tube, or a ring of expandable duct, with the foam, in an attempt
to "rigidize" it.
I think the take home from all those experiences is that "it depends on
the brand and type of foam"
