Heya, I'm just about done, I still need to carve excess foam background into jagged outcroppings and add carved texture to Roof of Big cave. Also, I'm going to cut out holes for food/water dish and a few holes for small desert plants in tiny pot. Can you take a quick look and make sure I didn’t forget anything else important? Not much is for climbing stuff because they really aren't good at it. Thanks any info helpful.
Thanks
Chris.

That is really awesome, man!
What will you be sealing/painting it with?
Also, what did you glue the styrofoam together with?
My boyfriend's working on something out of styrofoam for his beardie.

Thanks for the compliment =D I used DAP painters acrylic caulk for the gluing of pieces, some people use liquid nails or expandable foam sprays but those are both pretty heavy on the caustic side, this stuff takes longer to dry but doesn't have any vapors once dry. As for the sealing, I'm doing 5 layers of THIN PAINTED ON grout almost in a water form hehe. As long as you are going to completely seal it when your done just about any kind of non sanded grout will work.
As for the one most ppl are interested, the final seal; there was too much debate on what was and wasn't safe so I just shelled out the $50 for Pondarmor's pond sealer, got enough for maybe 2 or 3 projects for the price but its safe and will waterproof my setup.
