[Aquatic Meditation]

I have an idea for an aquascape that I'd like to try out - a design that calls for some fairly large stones.
In order to achieve the specific look I want, sans the weight and cost, I'd like to try and make my own faux stones.

I'm fairly confident that I have found the material I'd like to use for sculpting... I am just not sure about the steps after that.
Specifically - I'd like to paint the stones.

So my questions are -
A) Are there any aquarium-safe paints?
B) Would food-safe epoxy (used as a coating over the sculpted/painted stones) be aquarium-safe?

If I'm going down the wrong path entirely, I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks for your time!

You are going into the deep unknown, but things labeled "food safe" are generally safe for aquaria. Do a small Walstad bowl as an experiment first.

Epoxy is inert when cured. It’s very safe.
