It hardens and expands unlike many building foams. OTOH ever use the 
yellow foam around a door or window. If you haven't, don't <:-))  It may 
expand out of the crack like crazy, but if the door or window was 
fitting properly before, it's not going to open or close easily if at 
all.  I mistakenly filled to space between the rough opening and the 
door frame for the man door in our garage.  The door wouldn't budge 
until I dug out the foam. OTOH the white, soft foam works great in those 
spots.

"I think" the stuff for cracking concrete is like an epoxy that hardens 
and then expands, or at least expands a lot after hardening. I noticed 
in the one demonstration that none of it appeared to come up in the holes.
