I was wondering if anyone had tried using those foam slabs that people stick flowers in for mounts and how that has worked out?
this was the first link i found on google with a picture of what i mean: Oasis Floral Foam WET FOAM Bricks (48 Bricks) for $42.72 For Fresh Flowers /Green
irrka, I think you should take a look at the swampsticks, made for for mounting orchids and you are able to put water inside the mount and the water slowely seeps out. I would recommend epiweb as well. Check out the swampsticks at this link: SwampStick ™
