Decorate the cement I decorated the cement with water based acrylic paint (found at a craft store) to get different coloration of the rock wall. Unfortunately the shades disappeared when I later varnished since I put peat moss in the varnish to reduce the glossiness. But you don't have to make the same mistake..! ;)

Finishing Be very cautious about sealant...there are sealant that contain anti-fungi stuff... Don't use that in your reptiles' cage. Make sure you get a non-toxic, water-based poly-acrylic finish. Ask at the store. To reduce the glossy surface of the finish I mixed unfertilized peat moss in the varnish. But... I didn't realize that the peat moss colored everything dark brown..! It looks nice (but not as I expected!) - but if you don't want the background dark brown, rinse the peat moss first, then dry it. Or use sawdust, fine sand or something else to mix in the varnish to make the surface less glossy. You need something since the surface will be slippery for the lizards to walk on otherwise. 
Done! |
