    Would a coating of latex not seal it from water?

    Well I have got the mortar on all my rocks which is excellent At this point i am in a state of learning and waiting for more cash to come in so I can buy more material. it is killing me!!!! but its probably good because I will probably think through what I am doing more thoroughly. here are some pics and thanks for checking in. also I have decided to take 3 pieces of styro with mortar on them. one i will set to the side as a control. the other 2 I will coat the exposed stryo side with a latex paint preferably clear but, on one of them I will also coat the mortar side as well. then I will put them into some water submerged with a current and wait... wait... wait some more (for a good while) then I will see what the damage is. I know for sure the silicon will keep out water but i would really like to stay away from it if I can.
