Guys need ko advice nyo with my project that I started today, my DIY hide for my leopard gecko. everything is almost complete, just need some info on what final coating should I use para mas ma protect ko ung grout sa pag corrode pag na expose sa tubig or moist, bale eto kasi ung gagawin kong "moist box" ng gecko ko. share ko na rin pics.

thanks in advace!

first attempt ko po eto kaya di pa maganda hehehe. practice practice pa.

bro next tym try mo gumamit ng apoy pero from a safe distance pra magshrink at wrinkle ang styro, mas dramatic ang epekto, sa color naman da best 3 or more layers ng light, medium at dark acrylic paint using the dry painting technique.

gumawa ako dati ng temple run theme kaso naarbor ng gf hehe

yup. dark brown grout, 2kg for 54pesos d2 sa local hardware store samin. then instead of using paint, i mixed a 50/50 glue & water solution to act as final coat. sayang wala ako nabiling mga synthetic leaves para sa decor. pero happy na namn ung LG ko, so happy na rin ako.
