rock formations

[Myteemouse]

Got some dry dead rock today!
Thought I would skip the "egg crate method" and use the foam on the rocks them selves. This way no avalanches in the future!.
Heres the start!
More to come soon.

pretty! dude that is some nice shaped rock

 

[Myteemouse]

the finished product not dry yet but Here it is!
The secret to the foam is after about 20 mins.. get a pencil or something and "deflate" the foam, (push it it) so it's not all puffy and round .
This thing is now one solid structure!!

 

[Myteemouse]

actually 10 pieces of rock all together!

 

[delemi]

Haha - now imagine that as one giant zoa colony rock...

Awesome!!!

 

[Myteemouse]

Funny you say that.
My wife is actually working on a "zoo island" with small pieces of rock!

 

[Myteemouse]

here is "ZOO ISLAND" Crystal did this one!

very nice canyon in the middle again small pieces of rock most will toss as junk!

looks cool cant wait to see it in the tank!

 

[trido]

:shock: Do you realize how dangerous the project you just finished was?!?!!!

















One drop of that "great stuff" on anything, and its ruined forever.

Ive ruined more than one pair of pants with that stuff. It takes days to remove from your hands, even with a green scratch pad.

 

[Myteemouse]

Dangerous??

 

[Myteemouse]

oh i just read the bottom of your post LOL
My wife is learning that
Her fingers are COVERED in it. LOL
She's pickin as we speak!
I do have work pants on and thats why the plastic bags under it!

 

[trido]

Ya, you do concrete. I'd bet you can care less about the grey thighed blue jeans. I know.
Your poor wife.

Of all the adhesives, paints, caulkings, coatings, etc. Ive worked with in my life, "GREAT STUFF" is the worst. I dont recommend it to anyone except for very specialized projects. It really cant be removed in 99% of all cases without ruining what its attached to.

Very creative rock work BTW.

[colin779]

That looks pretty awesome, i wish i had the space for some cool creations like that, sadly they don't fit in a 29

 

[slim_jim989]

dang seattle989 stole my thunder i was gonna say your wifes zoo' rock look like a dragon lol o well and i work with stuff thats worse they "GREAT STUFF" we call it pro-seal and its mainly worse cause it sticks to everything and it sucks trying to get off and smells nasty haha but its an awsome sealer. Those rocks are gonna look awsome in the DT.

Cant wait to see your tank with these rocks Adam.

 

[Myteemouse]
