You can get grout at almost any hardware store but make sure its non-sanded grout
For the styrofoam I found mine at a packaging store where they sell styrofoam boxes and stuff, they even cut the styrofoam to the size of my choice
oh and I got a new fridge lol, which was )when I opened the box)
Covered with styrofoam boards, so remember to keep all the styrofoam you can get because you can use them later

thxs reptiepic! yeh ill get non-sanded grout and is thick foam alright??? cause my brother recently brought a t.v and theres big bits of foam in there but there really thick??? anyways thxs

It depends on what you plan to build, if its a background, I'll recommend using thinner foam (because its easy to cut)
But for a basking structure thick foam is all good!

Glad I could help
Remember to post a pic when your done :!:

cheers

No reason that you have to use non-sanded grout. I used sanded grout for all of my pieces. Once the grout is dry, but before you sand it, I recommend that you take something like a few pieces of wadded up paper towel, and rub it all over to remove any loose pieces of sand. Once it's got a few coats of your sealer on it, it'll be fine. The more you wipe it off before sealing it, the smoother the surface will be.
