Time for the next step! I let the caulk dry overnight to make sure none of the rocks would fall off.Next step was more messy than I anticipated. I bought some non-sanded grout and followed the instructions on the box and painted it on the Styrofoam rocks.
I applied two coats front and back. This grout ensures than none of the Styrofoam will break off and fall into the enclosure. It took about two days for the grout to dry.
Onto painting! I mixed black and pale gray in a bowl and painted the background. I used Anita's All Purpose paint as it is non-toxic.Painting took forever because of all the little cracks and crevices. Then I used Mod Podge to seal the paint and grout as a final touch!
Tomorrow I get to add everything and move the enclosure to my apartment!
