Display Case Enclosure Update

Spray foam DONE.
Carving almost complete, thought I was done till I took photos to post. This was much harder then the videos I watched led me to think it would be.
So many questions once I started.here is one I still am not sure about, where the pots go do I poke holes so the foam does not hold water? I'm very proud of it and can not wait to see it when it's done.

Thank you so much

Your welcome! Those built in pot holders in the spray foam are so cool! You are giving me tons of ideas for making my own DIY cage!

It looks great. What are the dimensions?
Yes, I have seen a lot of people use a rubber hose to foam around so the pots have a drainage hole, and then after foaming they remove the hose. However. I don't see why making a hole now would be too difficult! Definitely want it to be able to drain though.

Water's gotta go somewhere....

That was my thought,but no one I watched even mentioned drainage lol

When I did pond foam I didn't use hoses I just got a long drill bit and drilled the holes myself

I was just researching on how to do drainage with spray foam, this was a really helpful conversation! Thanks guys!

Well the base coats are done now to work on how to make it look like a rain forest!!! Paint colors are drylock.

Very colorful. Nice. Looks like a rainbow. Nice setup you have started.

You’ve got me wanting to try this myself! Not too surprised to hear spray foam is harder to work with than YouTube makes it sound but you did an excellent job. I can’t wait to see this thing all set up.

 

[RikkiL]
