At the beginning of the video he uses white glue to hold the layers together. Personally I'm not sure that was the best choice. I would have used spray foam in a can/dispenser, or PL300. At around the 4 minute mark I suspect he's using a light mixture of plaster, or possibly watered down drywall mud. Then it appears he blends several layers of paint, adding sand and small rocks as he goes. I'm not 100% sure that's exactly what he's doing, but does that help?

Instructions: Layer the sheets of xps (expanded polystyrene) not to be confused with eps (extruded polystyrene) in the general shape you would like the rock. Flip it over and lay the first peice down. Add a thin coat of PVA glue (elmers for example), remove excess, and add the second layer, and so on. After several layers, depending the size of the sheets the PVA may not hold everything together, so wooden dowels are hammered through the foam to keep the peices togeather. After all of your foam is glued together, and the glue has dried use a hand saw to cut off chuncks of foam, to get the general shape you are looking for, you'll want to add randomness and remove square edges for more realism. Next take an angle grinder with a sanding disc and go around the edges smoothing some of the layers, adding more randomness, and sculpting the rock as you'd like. Next the rock is coated with foam coat to smooth it out, cover the seams, provide ridgidy and weather proofing. If you do not care about weather proofing you could use mod podge. There are plenty of tutorials on painting rocks, but I've gone this far so... I beleive he is using cheap acrylic paint. Apply a base coat in grey. Add a wash, or thin layer of darker paint to the areas that are low spots, or lool like they would be in shadows if a light were comind down from above. Over brush a dark brown on some of the high spots, the more random it looks the better. Do it again covering a little less area, with a slightly lighter brown. Finaly highlight with a lighter grey in the spots the rock would reflect the most light if a light source were above.

I would be using my rocks in outdoor situations, where they would be exposed to the elements. But I would be putting them back in my car at the day's end to take them back home, or to another location for the next day's photoshoot. I can't have rocks that absorb water - that would make them too heavy, and possibly make a mess when they're riding in the passenger's seat of my car from one location to another.
