Sorry to ask again... but I can 't find the thread.

What do you use to seal and paint the pink foam for the tombstones?

No problem. I use Drylok. The latex version and if you can find it, gray. That way you don't have to paint it again

I use the grey dryloc as well. It has a nice texture to it too. I add a few drops of black universal paint dye to darken it up a bit. The universal dye can be found at any paint supply store. I used to prime the tombstones prior to the dryloc as well but I havn't seen any difference between primed and unprimed.

Drylok is the stuff I also use.

How much is it? the Lowes website would not have a price and the Home Depot was about 20/gal. Ace hardware only has 2 packs. Those are the only stores to get it here.

Yeah, it's about $20 here. If the Ace carries it in gray, you may just consider getting the 2-pack. With the money you'll save on shipping...could be worth it. Plus, you'll have 2 gallons instead of the one. It may take you a bit to go through it but I don't think it goes bad.

I think 20/gal is about right. I keep it in the garage all year round and never had any problems and it seems to last quite a while. I just made 3 tombstones and only went through a small amount of dryloc, I'd say you can get 15-20 tombstones from 1 gal.

Our WalMart carries it. Check your local stores.

TERRA, I finally saw your tutorial video on making the tombstones!! Simply wonderful!! Thanks for all of your help, guys!

You are very welcome
