Re: DIY Home-made "realistic" Hides
I am working on a XL exo terra hide right now. I was having the same problem with the dough being too wet and soft. I added some more flour but hope this turns out right. After this I will tweak the recipe a little to get the right feel to the clay.
What is shellac? Where do I get it. All I bought was Krylon water sealer and paint.

I have black paint that I use as a graphic designer. Is only spray paint okay, or will any paint be okay if let dry/aired out? Its called Designer's Gouache...

I wanted to edit the above post but I guess I have to just add it. Hope y'all don't mind the double post...
But will this method work fine for just spraying down tupperware containers for hides? And I'm assuming if you're using tupperware you only need the final waterproofing coat...
Thanks!

I think the stone spray paint would just flake off. You would most likely need to rough up the surface of the container first.
