What is the expanding foam like to work with? Can it be carved or moulded at any stage? Looking good so far. Keep us posted

Bunnings has the expander foam anywhere from 10-20 bucks a can.

Where'd you buy those hinges ?

Those enclosures are wild mate, great work! I'll definitely be trying the expanding foam after seeing those. What do you use to paint/seal it?

 

[MrThumper]

After the foam work was all done I used 3-4 coats of everyday tile grout, painted it and covered everything in a few coats of non-toxic waterproof sealant

 

[boxhead1990]

You can also use mortar or acrylic render too and use oxides that also comes out pretty good
