Default Making Fake Rocks?

Hey to all, I'm in the process of setting up a theme to go with my vivarium as well as my other cool critters. I wanted to create a rock / boulder wall effect. Not in any of my tanks just on the walls around them. I know I cound go to home depot or some place and get something but, just like my tanks the fun is making it. I tried great stuff but can't get any thing to stick to it? I saw a post were a guy used white craft foam, hot glued it the way he liked then covered it with something I just can't fine the post. Any help would be great Thanks in advance Jeff

Usually the GS gets covered in silicone after it's dry. Applying silicone to small areas then sprinkling coco bedding on the wet silicone to get it to stick there. Usually a small area is done at a time because silicone dries quickly. You could pretty much stick anything you wanted to the silicone at that point (small gravel, sand, etc...)

Do a keyword search and you'll get to see other people's pics they posted step by step, when they built thier vivs.
