what type of grout do people use to make their own rock wall/caves? I am building 2 viv's with rock walls cave stairs..... and have tried grout with sand in it but doesn't seem to bond to well ... thanks
 
For my projects I like to use non sanded grout for the base for a few layers and then sanded grout for the top few layers. Start real thin to get a good coating on everything and gradually get thicker and thicker. I normally do anywhere from 8 to 10 layers all together depending on the piece and font forget to do a bunch of layers of nontoxic sealant! I use Modge podge matte at first and finish with the modge podge hard coat. I generally do about 6 layers of sealant all together(3 layers of each) just to be on the safe side.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
