epoxy resin?

[Mvskokee]

ok i read in a book that they made rock backgrounds for vivs out of epoxy resin real sand stones and cork bark. i was wondering if this would work i have couple painted agamas and i bet they would love one that they could hide in the cracks

beshure to test difrent types of sand for abrasiveness (cant find a good english word) cuz sum types of sand work like sanding papper

will epoxy resin hold the rocks in place one the wall

i whould go for fake rockwall myself just to make things easyer and create it ur own way (controlable hides ) that way epoxy is not even needed in a dry viv just grout than last layer grout in the basis color than paint whit airbrush or cans if its a humid viv u put epoxy over it ore clear boat paint altho its not always nececery if u use real rocks jut silicone them together so they cant colapse
