Robc's 3-D Backdrop Tutorial

Warning: Do NOT use GEII window & door caulk like in the video, they have since changed there formula. See video: (Do mot use GEII caulk for backdrops). Here is a video on how I make my 3-D backdrops, hope this answers some questions!!

@DavidtheaanimalMan I just use general hot glue...it hold it in place great and if you need to take the backdrop out it will let you.

@klokicar nope it is completely dry.

Wow that's brilliant! I would never have though that it would be that easy to make a backdrop! Quick question though, Does the substrate slowly wear off the backdrop (resulting in you having to replace it) or do they last? Thanks

@ReptileFREAK22 i think it's just that insulation styrofoam from the hardware stores. but i'm new to the whole hobby in general, but i am gonna experiment and try doing one of my own. and i can't find the items needed too. the stryofoam mostly. none of my hardware stores carry any.

what type of board are you using?!

[slapshot1209]

Can i use this with poison dart frogs that would get misted about 2-3 times a day? Also very cool technique.
