I used styrofoam held togther with liquid nails, then coated with 3 layers of sandless grout. You can paint it with acrylic paint the final step is to seal it, I use modd podge thined with water 3 to 4 coats will do it.

thanks waiting time for sealer>?

You can wait about 10 to 20 min. Will be dry to the touch but look shiny on the last coat its a good idea to put some repti sand for grip for your leo.

The sand will dry into the final coat of the sealer.

I'm not sure how to do it yet, or at least how I'm going to do it, but I am so going to build be one of these backgrounds for my 125 gallon gecko tank. I have Leopards, so this should be fun. I just need time off work to do it!
