Ive just finished the first stages of a fake rock bg for my Ackie viv, nothing special just lots of ridges so they can get a good grip on the sides and have a good climb, ive had to keep the weight down so its basically polystrene, expandable foam covered in textured exterior masonary paint mixed with sand, so its durable and has a good texture.
My question is should i do a covering of P.V.A./ water or will it be ok as it is? ...
Cheers in advance ...
Dan.
