Cement & pigment Read at the bag how to mix the cement. In the cement I mixed color pigment that I bought at a craft store (I think you can buy it in a hardware store too) I used black and burnt umbra. I used this to get contrasts in the rock. But I kind of screwed up later - so the contrasts wasn't visible..! More about that under "The finish"..! ;) 
Cover the styrofoam with the cement I found out that this was easiest put the cement on if I used an old dish brush - and my hands. Just make sure to wear gloves if you use your hands! Cement is *not* good for your skin. 
Cover it all... 
It takes a while... It takes a while before all the styrofoam is covered. It is sometimes hard for the cement to fasten properly. Make sure you cover everything - even underneath the shelves. 
Done with the cement! Before the cement hardened I took the opportunity to stick some round "hooks" into it in suitable places. In those hooks I later put artificial plants. Now it is only the varnishing and finishing left. |
