cheers,some would say its a sicknessss lol !drool:

i would do but all used up. i can talk to the guy that makes it normaly he only does large runs because the raw product is expensive and has a limited shelf life when opened. last time i got a sheet when he was doing a large run(20 sheets) it still cost me around$850 for a sheet.

fomo back fill in froggie tank. ply 3by2 formers on this one. basic 3by2 framing for this one flash cement n fiberglass rockwork on this one,still timber framework n cutoff grinder n teck screws n then mortar the joins.

for the big stuff i use ply n 3by2 to make simple formers,but for fishtanks i use expandable foam

i call it flexi sheet. its a 2 pac polyurathane sprayed through an expensive machine into a silicone mould, same product used in the new zoo kiwi house ect, is flexible to work with so good for making your own shapes,same product i used in some of my other enclosures.

cheers,it got me into the fishies again too :ske:
