Hi there, i am interesting in making something like this. But, i am concerned about the non-toxic latex paint. When did you buy it at?

I don’t know if your in the states or Canada. I live in Ontario canada

Hi Jesse,
Great article. We have been working on similar techniques for making fake rock for garden features and to cover garden taps with fake boulders. We have used many other techniques using mortar on chicken wire and cardboard boxes. We’ll have to experiment with expanded polystyrene foam as you have done.

Thanks for the tip.
