ok thinking of having a play at making some i know the general theory, but i need to know the specifics especially the paints needed curing times etc. Would appreciate any information and photos would be awesome. thanks peter
I have used a product called "Emastak", its a water based butumin paint.
I was recomended this by many people who built show display tanks. One instance I used it on a foam background in a 2' tank to show africans @ the ekka. I made the background on the weekend b4 the show (only had 2 days to dry b4 filling and placing fish in tank). I still have this tank and has fish in it on and off for the last 8 yrs (even long term). I purchased it from CSR (now Emoleum) @ Archerfield and from memory it was about $10 or $20 for 4L. You can leave it plain, or whilst wet cover with fine gavel or sand. I think you would be surprised by the number of people who use this method!!!!
