Great Stuff Coverage?

[The Wild One]

Does anyone know how much one bottle of Great Stuff Pond And Foam would cover?

They all have different expansion rates, exactly which one are you looking at?

This is what I used. Not sure on the coverage per can, but I used 5 cans in my 36x18x36 enclosure.

Guess I should have read the end of your post, huh? lol Been a while since I've used that one, id say one can covers 4-5sqft.

 

[The Wild One]

perfect, in need to cover a side of a 27w x 83H

Be sure to get a spare can just in case. GS occasionally has a bad can that doesn't expand/set right.

More than you would think. I'm 4 bottles in and just did floating pots -- but I also suck at this so :shrugs:

And do any of yall know if there is a specific way to make the foam look like rocks? Or is it just at random?

 

[Tony_S]

yeah, I'd buy extra and take back what you don't use.

This panel is 22"x 44", and took approximately 4 cans. Once it is cured you can sand it, or carve it to any shape you want. If you wanted it to look like rock you could use silicone and spread colored sand into it.

Why not just add rocks to the wet GS and coat the GS with coco fiber so the rocks stand out?

Weight.

 

[Tihshho]

Go lava rock or pumice then, it's very light weight.

Could do what I did and foam it up, carve it down, use some acrylic paints to paint whatever parts you want to look like rocks, seal it with polyurethane, and then cocofibre any parts you want to be "dirt". Doesn't affect the weight at all, and it looks pretty good!

Sooooo cool I can’t get over it!

@The Wild One Re: coverage - it took me about 1.5 cans of Multipurpose black (very similar to pond/stone) to fully cover a 16x30 background. One can jammed, so I ended up opening 3 haha! My 36x18x36 took about 8 cans.

I’m only doing one wall, but i want to hang some vines from the sides, other than dragon stands, how would I do that?
