"WHO Sells Juwel Aquarium Stone/Rock Backgrounds???" Topic

Since these older threads were first started a while back, has anyone found a US source for them?

I am particularly interested in the first one listed below:

eBaY has a seller who will ship internationally auction

I did find link that may be close(love the company name – so USA)

Failing that – let me know what you want and I'll hunt in the local garden center at the weekend and let you know the costs.

World Health Organization sells that stuff? Who knew WHO did such a thing?

On a serious note, I haven't seen any textured panels like that in the local pet stores--only the usual background pictures decals. Those textured panels (assuming price point is pretty low) look like they'd be great for gaming terrain--now I've got to start looking.

Cacique Caribe for sure you have enough projects to entertain a blog or three! Thus we would be allowed to enjoy your achievements.

Not tempted by a Lace Wars (the 'niche par excellence' of Imagi-Nations) Pirate Free Republic in the Gulf of Mexico / Carribean area?

Andrew,

Thanks so much for the tips.

I sent the ebay seller an email, to find out what shipping would cost to TX.

If it is not feasible cost-wise, I may try that other background from Big Al's.

Much appreciated.

I might have to get some of that stuff for my aquarium!

Now I see the need for a stockist:

Saber6,

"No dealer found" is what I get each time. :(

Not entirely sure what you're planning to do with them CC, but have you seen these?

One of these days . . .

I guess I want one or two sheets of the STR 600.

Did you have any luck – the local garden centre does stock these and can get hold of them.

Send me a mail if you need me to follow up for you adb at kings hyphen sleep dot me dot uk.

Whilst not ready made, I wonder if you might end up looking at the woodland Scenics rock molds. Especially the "C1244 – Facet Rock (10.5x5 Mold) " at the bottom of the page.

as used to great effect in this blog article (not mine)

Andrew,

Just sent you a reply. Thanks so much.

PS. Or artificial bark sheets:

Why not just email the company to ask about US based retailers using the contact form – link

They list United States on their local Juwel stockist page as a choice, so that implies they have at least one somewhere in the US

Well, i can see why most people would think so.

However, I still get "No dealer found for given zip", just like I got two years ago. Back then I emailed them too and was told they had none in the US.

On the other hand, Marina Foam wasn't around two years ago, so it might be an option.

if you'd followed arabianknigts advice two years ago, by now you'd have dozens and dozens, maybe hundreds of pieces.

Try making a mold buy up some triple expanding foam and experiment. You'd get more done if you spent less time with all your effort here on TMP (I know, take my own advice, right? – but I don't post a fraction as often as you do). Get busy – and where's that treehouse?! And the photos of it?

Thanks.

"and where's that treehouse?! And the photos of it?"

Sorry. Doctor says wait 3 more weeks before I can start kneading Sculpey and twisting wire like this:

As many of you here already know, my left arm has been basically worthless for over a year now (almost two). Hopefully the recent surgery did the job. We'll find out soon enough. I'm really itching to "get busy".

Dan, I just noticed this product. The Juwel textured tiles would make great lava fields on a volcanic planet!!!

Was Andrew the only one who could find a source? Are tere any web sites that sell this??? I gotta have some!
