It doesn't matter. I'd spread it about a bit myself.

going to hold it
up with a long bit of wood til its stuck.

Take a book ;-)

An easier way to fill the holes, if they are out of sight in a
cupboard, is to jam a handful of rock wool insulation in there, if you
have any lying about. It's quite good for staying where it's put.
That's what I've done round the top of the upstairs soil pipe that
comes down inside the dowstairs bathroom.
