Hello people, I am going to be trying to build a grout formicarium for the first time. I have watched all of Crystals videos which were super helpful, however I have a few questions. Up until now I have only used plaster but that molds and my C pennsylvanicus, colony had carved it out and made home right in the center of it.
My first question is can you just dump all grout into a 2ft by 2ft container that is a foot deep. With there being so much grout will it dry into a big block? and how long until it would?
Also for the hydration part of it, I was thinking put a sponge just a centimeter away from the clay for hydration with a tube leading to the sponge to the outside of the container and adding water to the tube which leads to the sponge, would that work?
