    Hi! I am making some artificial cherry blossom 6 to 7 foot trees. This material looks like it would be an amazing way to do that. I will be using PVC piping that I have heated up with a heat gun in the shape of a tree. Given it some curves here and there. Would you recommend using this product on PVC pipe for the branches?

    • @smoothon

      Yes, it can be used on PVC.

      I've used exterior caulk in brown for a good foundation, can be sculpted and painted, a lot cheaper too!

    Is this waterproof weatherproof for use outside? Also if it works for outdoors, can it also freeze as I live in a cold/snow
    Thank you

    How light is this material? I’m building a cosplay with branch wings. Could it be spray painted or airbrushed?

    Just ordered two gallons for my chameleon's new habitat. I hope my trees come out looking that good.

    That material looks so unfriendly to use - I'd use paper mache and coat it or make a mold of it and fill with wood material
