corrosionjerry Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I am making a background for a terrarium and saw a video where the spray foam was dk brown almost black… anyone know where I can find that kind of spray foam all I see is the yellow and white… checked home depot and couldn't find it there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckmullin Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) Use that common HomeDepot stuff. A couple different methods. When dry, paint it. Or when it's still nice and wet cover it with your preference. Common moss shredded nice and fine works great when sprinkled on the tacky foam.

DJay Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) Great Stuff actually does sell a pond and stone spray foam that is black. I think I saw it online at Home Hardware. Also, I picked up a can at RONA in their pond section quite a while back, made by Beckett. It was pretty expensive compared to the regular stuff though. Best bet if you can't find the black stuff is to spray it on, and then when its dry cover it in black silicone and then press in cocoa fibre. That's pretty much the standard method that I'm sure you were going to be trying. Edited November 23, 2013 by DJay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Natures Corner has black foam - it's low yield expansion used for building waterfalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishman44 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Having never used spray foam before I am wondering if it is safe for the fish? I also see the suggestion to paint it, what kind of paint should one use in an aquarium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippoherder Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 There is expanding foam for ponds. You can buy some at Pices. Another method is to cut and silicone (as the glue) construction foam, you can then paint it with Drylok, which Canadian Tire can order in. I had them do it for me and still have an unused can. The drylok can be mixed with different concrete paint colors. I've seen some pretty cool backgrounds done in that method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
