Thanks

It is made out of old isolation (temp-ex) with PUR-foam. I made it in shape with a hot knife and a torch. When the shape was ready i made 5 layers with some sort of cement (we cal it tegellijm: "wall-tile glue"). In the last layer i put some colors in.

Use a translator.

As cement u can use the stuff people use to put the tiles on the wall.
