How would you seal it to make it water tight (safe)? Would quickcrete work better for an aquatic application?

Just curious... I hope that the enlcosure was moved away from the air conditioner.

Hi Rivkah,

I've seen "how to" videos on YouTube of different projects using the styrofoam. Different pieces are glue together using silicone sealer, then carved into the design you want. They then use sandless grout, made very thin to coat all exposed styrofoam, color it with acrylic paints and sealed with water based varnish. I haven't made one yet, but I want to give it a try. The guy that has the best videos is called LizardLandscapes if you want to watch him make one from start to finish.
