Benny314 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Is there any type of clear sticky spray that I can use for the sand to stick to the black foam? I've started with super glue, but it is taking a while and using a lot of super glue. Can't you use a cement mix? Although it would need a lot of curing time in water to stop leaching.

You could always just cut the bubbles off and shape them as a smooth transition to and from each individual rock. Quote Link to comment

NanoFever Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 You could just use aquarium silicone and sprinkle sand on it. Might be easier than superglue 1 Quote Link to comment

Might be easier than superglue That is basically the same as super glue. Squeezing a tube over the black foam. I was hoping for something really quick, but will keep going with the glue.

Benny314 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Well with the silicone plan you could squirt it all over where you wanted it, then dab it about/spread it evenly with a sponge or large paint brush, then throw your sand at it.......... Quote Link to comment
Chaozu Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Try one of those 3M adhesive spray Quote Link to comment

I've started with super glue, but it is taking a while and using a lot of super glue. Why don't you just toss sand on the foam before it dries? That's what I did when I built the waterfall feature of the backyard pond. You can stick rocks into it, then mush sand around it before it dries. Quote Link to comment

Dave sent me 2 6700k in the hybrid fixture, but he wasn't sure what brand they were. Really like the look of the 6700 paired with the nanobox LEDs Quote Link to comment
