DOW Blue insulating Stryofoam

[Ricker]

So far the eggcrate/GS pond and the blue stryofoam/GS isnt working so well.The GS won't stick to the board, and will deflate if I try to spread it in the eggcrate. I'm going to try this. Solid blue foad background with smaller pieces hot glued over the entire board. Adding 2 long strips to make a "waterfall channel". Spreading silicone over the entire surface, and adding coco fiber on the outside of the waterfall channel. Hope this works.... The blue should show through the silicone and have a "rock-like" color to it so no painting will be needed. Give me some ideas people......

Finally figured it out. I took the eggcrate and SLOWLY released the GS Pond foam on it. First I put in the waterfall ridges. Then "lined" in the rest of the background. After a little drying, I added the inside of the waterfall and after a few minutes, kinda' spread it around. It deflated a bit, but I added more. Guess it looks like a tree bark at this point. I'm going to do the silicone/coco fiber or maybe the Titebond III /coco on the outside of the waterfall section... OR I'll just leave it as it is. The GS pond foam is already water resistant since it's used in ponds (..duh..) and it says it's plant and fish safe, so I'm not worried about sealing it.
