Easily the best background creator on TH-cam!
Thank you but a bit over praise...! :D
your work is so underrated, you are so darn talented! I absolutely love the backgrounds you make
Thank you!
This is a work of Art! Stunning Building. The best ive seen in a while.
Thank you! :D
That is amazing work, im so jalous
Thank you4 :D
Stunning 👌🏻💜
Thanks! :D
Hell yea. more! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks! :D
Amazing
Absolutely amazing!! What is the lumpy mixture you use before you use the tile adhesive?
Holly Molly 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 nice work. Where i can buy full enclouser?
Thank you! :D U can always come to Hungary if u want one! XD
Extremely cool! Do you have to wear a mask and gloves during this process? I've been making a rock background with Drylok and Quikrete pigments and they're toxic. Tile adhesive grout seems like a great solution!
Thank you! Gloves u need because every cement based product is corrosive for your hands. Mask dont need.
@@zoltanbackground hey, can you add pigment powder to tile grout?
Nice
i know i asked a long while ago but id still love if you'd ever make a video on how you do your method?. have you also tried the drylock method? or would you ever used XPS foam board? (id assume the foam you use is a lot easyer to carv tho)
Ye i know that shoud been cool. Once i will i promiss! Drylock method is not a method. The method is a layering method. U can do that also with a tile adhesive, grout, drylock, etc. It was the 1. method i learned in my teen age. Around 15 years ago but its very limited to use and does not rly u can use it for complex backgrounds. U can use it if u make a very complex base for your background and then layer it but then u just waste your time because u can also make a less complex base and a detailed surface which are way faster and u can do so mutch more details. I never used Drylock because u cant buy it localy here and its not got my attention enough for i invest time and money to ship it here. But which i saw as an advantage from this material is its super light weight. XPS foam is not rly different like polystyrene. Its tough which are very good for cutting and carving so u can do exetreme detailed and solid base but then its a same like with the layering method.... why i work on a detailed base if i can do a detailed surface with less time invest?
Love your backgrounds! I've been wanting to make my own for my leopard gecko based on how you do them, but how heavy does the tile adhesive grout make the enclosure? Also I tried finding something similar to what you use for tile-adhesive grout but I'm having a hard time finding any that isn't pre mixed. I did find something called cement grout, would that do or is cement-based mortar the same thing?
Thank You! :D Thats why i do massive polystyrene frame for decrease its weight as mutch is possible. Anyway this terrarium weight is around 20-25 kg.(its made from 6mm glass) 2 guy can easy move it. U can move it alone also but its risky and hard because the size of it. From our point of view its just sand + cement. grout do the very same.
@@zoltanbackground Thank you for the response! So when mixing the cement grout, besides adding a small amount of water is there something else I need to do to get the clay-like consistency that yours does?
Hey, i love your work. Can i ask how do you make the grout look like plasticine?
Add less water to the mix. :D
@@zoltanbackground thanks for the info, appreciate it!
@@zoltanbackgroundis it like Thin Set that your talking about? The stuff that looks like cement that goes under the tile? Or the grout for in-between the tiles?I'm so confused lol
❤
what modeling mixture do you use? ordinary tile adhesive does not have such plasticity and does not stick like that
Its simple tile adhesive with less water like u mix it for tiles. Baumit Basic.
@@zoltanbackground thanks 🙏 very cool 👍👍👍
I,m looking forward to new works))
Where do you get the big blocks of styrofoam?
From a local construction supply store.
What are you using to cover that styrofoam?
Its a tile adhesive.
Brother can i ask??
Can i use only cement? Not tile adhesive grout?
tile adhesive = cement + sand
@zoltanbalogh1646 ahh i see, thank you very much for reply 🙏
Amazing
