T E R R A S C A P I N G S E R I E S TERRASCAPING SERIES Create exciting natural habitats with ProRep’s new range of specialist Terrascaping products. The ProRep range of Terrascaping products are designed to help you create stunning naturalistic terrariums. Use them to seal, texture or colour foam or polystyrene bases, or to coat glass to create a textured, opaque surface. Simply create a basic structure with polystyrene, celcon block or expanding foam. Then create a natural looking surface by applying texturing compound and modelling to look like rocks or wood. Finally waterproof it with sealing resin, coloured to your choice. The resin can be left bare or have bark, coconut fibre or sand pressed into it to make a rough, naturalistic surface which allows moss and plants to grow up it. This powdered modelling compound is used for the second stage. The powder is mixed with water to make a paste and then spread over the basic structure to make a textured, realistic base ready for sealing. TEXTURING COMPOUND

The ProRep range of Terrascaping products are designed to help you create stunning naturalistic terrariums. Use them to seal, texture or colour foam or polystyrene bases, or to coat glass to create a textured, opaque surface.

Simply create a basic structure with polystyrene, celcon block or expanding foam. Then create a natural looking surface by applying texturing compound and modelling to look like rocks or wood. Finally waterproof it with sealing resin, coloured to your choice.

The resin can be left bare or have bark, coconut fibre or sand pressed into it to make a rough, naturalistic surface which allows moss and plants to grow up it. This powdered modelling compound is used for the second stage. The powder is mixed with water to make a paste and then spread over the basic structure to make a textured, realistic base ready for sealing.

TERRASCAPINGSERIES

Create exciting natural habitats with ProRep’s new range of specialist Terrascaping products. The ProRep range of Terrascaping products are designed to help you create stunning naturalistic terrariums. Use them to seal, texture or colour foam or polystyrene bases, or to coat glass to create a textured, opaque surface.

First a structural framework is created using polystyrene or expanding foam. Then this is textured using the Terrascaping Texturing Compound, before being waterproofed using this sealing resin. It can be couloured using the Terrascaping Colour Pigment by mixing the pigment into the resin to create the required colour and shade. It is then applied to a background, glass, wood, etc. using a brush and can be left as it is, or sand, bark or other textured finishes can be pressed into it while still wet.

This water based resin is used straight from the tin. It is not solvent based and so it does not have the offensive smell associated with silicone. Once cured the resin is inert and is safe to use in all environments, including fully aquatic set ups.

This colouring pigment is mixed with the sealing resin to create a colour which matches the desired effect in the terrarium. Adding more or less of the pigment will determine how dark or light the colour is, and the pigments can be mixed to create different colours.
