My batcave is slowly coming together using some of the techniques you shared on your other videos. I just made some i-beams out of mat board and balsa wood and used a belt hole puncher to get round rivets then went over it with silver paint.

Hey buddy,always good to hear from you! I dont use an exact ratio. Kinda just depends on the job. If im working a spot thats going to on a vertical area ,i will mix it more thick. But usually i mix a 1 to 1 ratio. 1 bottle of glue then same bottle with water....(shake to get all glue out). As far as the amount of paint, i just mix in enough to get color i like. The wet look of the rocks is a happy side effect of the glue. I use toilet paper because its so cheap lol. I have used paper towels but i find the little dots on most shows up to much after dry. You can use mod podge to but the really cheap paper glue works just as well. I also find that just useing a few few squares of toilet paper at a time works best.
