You’re extremely talented! I love your work, very realistic! Keep those tutorials rolling’! 😎👍🏻♥️ P.S. I shared this tutorial with a reptile group I’m a member of on FB, so hopefully they show you some love too!
Wow man great great job they look fricking amazing..question so when you reached that point of being finished with painting what's the next step do you use any kind of sealant so they can be washed when cage cleaning day comes?? Juat woundering because I'm sure at some point they will have to be taken out of the enclosure and cleaned...but again fantastic job its awsome.....
Hi, great tutorial, thank you! To make this aquarium safe could i spray seal it with clear Plasti Dip? As this would be perfect even doing one but with poly pipe so it is hollow for fish. Trying to find something safe. Thanks.
I think you could use an epoxy to seal it for a fish tank. I know this is a bit of a late response, but I have seen a few rock structures that have been sealed with epoxy for fish tanks. Have to rinse everything properly, and find the right epoxy etc, but it could work.
Thank you! So, there is lots of options for sealing, but the epoxy itself is sealed and water proof. The paint I use (Ecos paints) doesn't need to be sealed, per the manufacturer. The problem with sealers is most are way too glossy. Great for under water but not as good for natural look in vivariums. Polygem does make some clear epoxy. You can use polycrylic, or any non toxic sealer though. It doesn't have to be expensive.
The one I used here I got off Amazon. I have been working on making my win which hopefully I can sell if they work out! I bought a couple that were no good. Way too stiff.
They didn't cost me anywhere near $200. Not sure where you're getting your numbers. Most my branches, even large ones, are under $50. I also build enclosures for a living so a jar of paint will last me for 50 branches. If you are building one, 12" long branch, then it's probably not cost effective. It's also not always easy to find the exact branch you want or need. If I want it to go a certain way, or fit a certain space, it's easier to build it than go searching for the perfect branch. It's also sealed, so it won't rot and urine won't set in it. This, like anything, the value comes down to the end user. Nobody said you can't use real branches or that you have to make them. Some people just enjoy building things.
I'm making a wizard staff walking cane using a broom handle as a base. This tutorial is gonna be incredibly useful in creating a tree branch effect 😍😍
Are you Will from the hospital? You are the first person that has added the light color to the inside of the branch that I've seen. Awesome work.

How much polygem do you think ill need for a good sized tree for a mangrove monitor enclosure
I see doggy in background! Amazing tutorial! Thank you!
That is one of my Chessies!
Very cute! 😊
THIS WAS AMAZING!! If I wanted to make one to place in a fish tank, would I have to seal it?
Tou could use epoxy for that. The shine of that stuff though....

I would think PVC pipe and a heat gun would be easier.
What are you using to make the bark texture and design?
I would like to know too, but I found some rubber fondant molds that looked similar on Amazon.
@@mirkrovi I need to figure out how to make a fake log. Like, for a large lizard.
@@mirkrovi that's where its from!
Love these....Do you sell these?
Amazing tutorial! 💯 you definitely earned a sub from me!
Thank you so very much!!!
Awesome video, what do you use to seal it when all the painting is done?

Where to buy the Aprox mix, at what cost?
Where do you get the stamps for the textures

@@EdenEnclosures ok thank you an amazing work thank you for shareing
Very nice wow
👍👍👍👍❤️❤️

Wouldn't it be cheaper to use real branches ? After all the materials you purchased and made in the video...each branch will cost you $200 !
