    Awesome video! A cool thing I figured out to use to make the sides of the tank opaque is using a “blackout static cling window privacy film” it’s a sheet of plastic that adheres temporarily using water. It looks amazing and can be removed and adjusted as needed! I used it on all of my terrariums and it made a huge difference :)

    How did you waterproof the paint on top of it? Since acrylic paints are not water proof, but water resistant...so being under water and/or water being on the surface all the time makes the peint soft and then a crawling animal can easily scratch it off. So to make it long lasting you'd have to use some sealer or varnish.

    Is it a bit difficult for me to give you a link but this is simple grey cement you can find in home depot and this is the same for Sika Latex of the brand Sika, you can find it at Home Depot. For epoxy resin R123 of the brand Soloplast is seems to be more complicated, I don't see it a Home depot so maybe on boat care stuff websites. And no there is no foam or polystyren explanding with cement ;)

    Depends on your kind of paint. If you use acrylic paint, it is just the grout you need to seal not the paint.

  • @andrem6404
    @andrem64042 жыл бұрын

    Do you have to seal the foam (heat wise) before you add cement or grout, a lot of the videos I’ve watched people have problems with it sticking to foam, just wonder cause I’m almost to the process of cement and I don’t want to mess up

    Thanks! Yes PVC sheets are from Palram. The real name of this this stuff is (at least in France) expanded PVC. Another famous brand is Forex but it so damn hard to find :( I found mine in a do it yourself store but this kind of stuff is availble on Polydis.fr but I don't know if they deliver outside France.
