So I actually made this for my leopard gecko, but could also be used for bearded dragon enclosures - I may do one for my beardie too!
Finished product:
The process:
Draw layout for foam pieces, which I absolutely did not follow
Cut and glue (with craft glue) foam bits
Mix grout and start painting!
I had to experiment a lot with the water to grout ratio - too thin and it doesn't make a rigid enough layer, too thick and you can't paint it into the cracks. So I ended up with a good consistency about the same as shampoo. Also had to frequently mist and mix the grout as I painted. I did 3-4 layers total of grout only.
See next post for further steps - it wouldn't let me do it all at once.
