Epoxy resin inlay background

[Brodybreaux25]

Builders- anyone ever tried to incorporate an epoxy resin(liquid glass) inlay as a background in your custom build? I’ve been wanting to do a vertical river table type of background for a long time now. Really just curious if anyone has used epoxy resin in a viv before...

Take that as a no?

@ChamLB uses this stuff all the time. Not in a cage that I know of but for table tops.
I'm dying to see the pictures if you do go for it.

I use epoxy a lot in my enclosures.
I mainly use it to waterseal stuff and strenthen styrofoam/tile adhesive backgrounds.

Big fan of epoxy, only downside is that it's shiney but you can sprinkle sand on the top layer and most of it is gone.

That looks so awesome .. Found a store in my country that sells it and it's 40euro for just under 2 kilo's... I'm guessing itvs not to light weight so that won't be cheap for a full 3D background.

Looks like high quality stuff.

I’m a builder, not an artistic bone in my body! But if I were, I’d defanitly try that. Looks cool.
