<strong>The</strong> coating Jacobs uses when he wants something to look like stone or brick is appropriately called Monster<br />
Mud. Use it to cover foam or other substances to create brick or stone facades, tombstones or statues.<br />
What you’ll need:<br />
• 5 gallon bucket of joint compound<br />
• 1-2 gallons of paint (any color, but black will turn it<br />
into a nice grey)<br />
• 1 gallon of glue<br />
• 1 gallon of dry lock (to waterproof your structure)<br />
• Water<br />
Directions/notes:<br />
Mix all the ingredients together. In order to easily<br />
paint or spray the mud on surfaces with a hopper, make<br />
sure your mud has the consistency of pancake batter. If<br />
you’re carving something out of foam, like cobblestone<br />
bricks, cover them with the Monster Mud. You can add<br />
an aged quality to the look by using a wire brush to<br />
distress some of the bricks.<br />
