Presumably I should cap it, but as you can see from this photo it's
not a neat end:

The outside diameter is about 7cm.

There are flexible rubber caps for sale, e.g.

but I doubt it could be attached securely. Would a piece of some kind
of flexible rubber sheet and a jubilee clip do the trick?


Expanding foam?

I was going to say scrunched up newspaper, but thought it might be
considered unprofessional.


You are both correct.

For the kewpie doll you have to say which one to put in the pipe
first. :-)
