A quick google search shows it's very popular... almost every thread has someone saying they use it...
Have any of my TPF people tried it?

I know it's safe for aquariums. I used it on mine to spray the "outside", I've never used it for anything inside the tank.

Just found this and it confirms that Fusion paint is safe in aquariums
Also has a good tip of covering the object in clear silicone and then sticking gravel/sand to it

When you get the project done I want to see it.
A friend of mine has a turtle and we are thinking about making a back ground with ledges out of styrofoam for it.

You guys agree that I should seal grout? cause that was the plan, but on another forum it's kinda mixed. some say just soak in vinegar water for a couple weeks...

You guys have grout, don't you? the cement type stuff that goes around tile?
It's supposed to throw your pH way out of whack if not sealed, but some say just soak it for a while to leach it out.

Oh yeah I know the stuff you mean
What are you going to try and mould something out of it?
That'd be pretty hard to do wouldn't it?
Or are you coating something in it?
