best way to hide cement?

[btreyes]

Hi Everyone,

So I am building an aquascape that relies heavily on e-marcos mortar and I need to hide the cement stripes. I tried adding "chalk" that I made by grinding up live rock to the wet cement. It looked awesome, but it did not hold when I washed it off. Does anyone have any ideas for how to fix this material or to hide the cement? In this video they are adding some sort of chalk and then super liquidy cement and it looks pretty realistic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40oFqSdXTWA

I'd like to find this glue or maybe use some sort of spray adhesive. I think gorilla glue might be too viscous and would take too long, but I am open to whatever you guys think would be the best method.

Thanks!

So I used some silicon and then pulverized live rock chalk and sand... it seems to be working decently, but I will have to check on it tomorrow.

The sand would be a good touch. Gluing coral rubble here and there might also break up the lines.

Thank you! Hopefully it will end up nice!
