Easy peasey. Just mix up a slurry of titebond and your material of choice and paint it on. Once I have a nice couple coats on, I press extra material into the last wet coat just to give it that "fluffy" look. For a darker version, you can mix some peat moss in. Some people claim they get mold from the peat, but I never experienced that. The original mantella tank had a mix of cocofiber, peat moss, some very fine sand, and some sand "dust"
