you take styroform and you grout it with like 3 layers of grout you make 1 layer let it dry than the next and so on! when its dry you can buy a spray in wallmarkt to make it look like stone or sandy whatever you want ! spray it let it dry! than you need mot poch it is reptile safe its withe and sticky you put that on in thin layers i made 2 layers wait till it is totaly dry and its it looks withe but when it drys you dont see it no more! ready to go !
