What to use to make a fountain?


Question:had a idea to make a fountain/mountain that will sit in a large rectangle aquarium. so i drew it out, then made a frame out of popsikle sticks. so what do i cast it with that will hold water and not be to heavy??

Answers:
How about paper mache? You could cast it with that, then use a waterproof lightwieght mortar to finish.


yo mama, well not the "not be heavy" part >:)
I think you are asking what material to make the "mountain" out of?
Try expandable foam like Great Stuff! I saw a DIY show where they used it for everything from fake "meteors" in a spaced-theme kids room to random 3-D design for a picture frame. ...
...just a thought! Plus, its so fun to use :-}
