| I didn't know they made split ones, that's cool. Then what I guess
| I'll do is mortar some the larger pieces of brick back in, leaving 1"
| all around the fixture for movement, use great stuff to fill the rest
| and sand it down, and then use the split style from your link to cover
| up the unsightly foam.
