I plan on spackling at least parts of it, but I also don't really like the vertical look of it, so I am planning on extending it out on one side so it has a bit more pf a horizontal characteristic as well. <BR/><BR/>This means it'll be a bigger piece of scenery, but it won't look like it pops up out of nowhere.Eli Arndthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445801567500822187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441824499938029576.post-20680546069046403532009-02-22T13:48:00.000-08:002009-02-22T13:48:00.000-08:00LOL, Man you should have consulted with me before ...LOL, Man you should have consulted with me before breaking out the expanding foam. I used to work construction and can tell you some horror stories of expanding foam.<BR/><BR/>That said I think you have a good start there for a project. Definately cover it with spackle as this will help fill in the cracks and air bubble holes.<BR/><BR/>DevonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441824499938029576.post-68088746633808497942009-02-19T08:47:00.000-08:002009-02-19T08:47:00.000-08:00That's cool.

As the thing is based on a roughly circular base, I am considering adding some more boulders made of other more foamr or even pine bark to lengthen the rock formation a bit.<BR/><BR/>As for painting, I think it's going to need a coat of spackle first.Eli Arndthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445801567500822187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441824499938029576.post-12887822083938087492009-02-19T08:07:00.000-08:002009-02-19T08:07:00.000-08:00This has given me a few ideas for a large terrain ...This has given me a few ideas for a large terrain piece I've been thinking about.

The results were spotty.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I got some blister-looking bubbles from the overflow that I have an idea or two for.<BR/><BR/>Might I recommend a primer specifically for styrofoam? I found a can at Hobby Lobby that I used on some styro - its for the open cell kind often used with floral products. It might not melt the foam so much.J Womack, Esq.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14400879353685357966noreply@blogger.com
