Building a Mausoleum - Pg4

A coat of monster mud is applied to the front and sides of our mausoleum.  Monster Mud is drywall joint compound and latex paint mixed at about a 5:1 ratio.  For a stiffer mud, use less paint and a photo of Sofia Vergara.

This stuff can be built up and textured, sanded, and painted.  We've only scratched the surface of possibilities here, but I get the feeling we'll be using a lot more of this goop in the future.
