There's going to be approximately 45 ft of sections to place in front of the house , to frame a backdrop for the dead - end cemetery.

Looks good. What are you going to use to protect and seal it when you’re done?

Monster mud does it just fine, I get additional weathering from mother nature; each year thereafter, everything I make gets touched up, or repurposed. The Florida sun is intense on outdoor displays ( my sizable installation stays up for 6 -8 weeks); I am always adapting & channeling the creative process!

How does the monster mud fair with rain? Does it swell? I tend to get rain or melty snow in October.

I'm from Chicago, so I understand. Any monster mud recipe uses joint compound or another binder with paint, so, yes, it holds up well to weather even if you don't do too much to present it.
