How To Color Artificial Stone 

we used to do this as well, but more like 350 to 400 sq ft at a time,plus we brushed on the oxide pigment into the silicon mold, we still colored our cement with the oxide dyes. Our mixes had 1/4" to 3/8" aggregate size stones, as well as fiberglass fiber added. Our admixtures were duracem and polarset. Duracem simply made the mix easier to pour and work with, the polarset just made it cure quicker, like in 1/2 the time. On any given day we would produce about 8500 to 9000 sq ft a day.. But then the "Housing Bubble" collapsed, and then that was the end of that! Buddy tells me that everyone showed up for work but found the doors closed and locked, and a note that said the GM would come to explain. 35 people lost their job just like that. I was smart and left for a new job about 9 mo earlier. The others didn't handle it too well.

I can't get enough of these!

AWESOME tutorial!! Going to love being creative and experimenting!

Way to go Mr. smart guy I love it, keep going!

just the video i needed! keep up the work my good man.

I've been looking for just this information! Thanks so much for sharing it

Enjoyed your video, exactly what I was looking for....keep them coming!!

Very informative, and you do a great job at explaining the process. I'm making flagstones using concrete mix and molds, and I've been wanting to add some streaks of green and reddish iron oxide to make them look more like real stones. Your video showing the "paint it in the mold" method is just what I've been looking for. Thanks!

love it!!!!! my favorite method was the 1st one i love how the black looks!

I actually found that information about comments affecting the algorithm to also be interesting. Great content as well! =)

Awesome job, thanks for inspiring me 😊👍

I have been looking for the right caps for my pond wall. I watched both beginner videos and will make the molds up this weekend. I did not know about the difference between store pre-mixed and concrete and self mixed cement and sand. I will definitely self mix. Now off to watch the vibration table video.

Nice video. I learned a lot

You are the first to show this in detail. Very helpful. Could you maybe show you to produce the lighter colors like tans? The rocks local to my area are very light in color and I would like to try and match those as best I can.

Thank you so much I also want to see more!

Nice job!

Nice job I didn’t know about this technique with pouring concrete in silicone stone molds !I just got done installing 70 square ft of ledger stone behind a wood burning stove !Good video

Hell yea. Awesome video

Thank you Vlad for the excellent tutorial! I cast a stone panel using the pigment painting method, but I think I picked pigments that were too different and I didn't think it looked natural, so I used a stain overtop and I think it looks better. I also tried the first method and really like that look especially after using sandpaper to scuff the edges to look more natural. I have to wait a few more days before I can apply sealant and then I will post my results. Keep making great videos!

Great teaching teacher ~ Mister Walter

Great job

Thank You for the excellent video bro... I like all your videos..... Thank you once again

Very helpful!

Great Job

Good video!

I mixed acrylic paints with a concrete penetrating sealer and it worked pretty well. Still had to add a clear sealer on top of it though, mainly to protect the finish a little more. It made some interesting looking countertops that are holding up pretty well so far. Epoxy makes an awesome concrete finish too, especially for countertops or floors.

good job buddy.

great vids!

Thank you very thorough

I like it , your way is so helpfull , thanks alot

Good work bro

Good work

Nice, thank you.

Well done and very informative, I am looking to make some freehand stone slabs for a water feature, moulds to retain basic shape only and then hand trowel end result. The colour techniques you demonstrated I will use to best advantage to achieve a near natural look.

Thanks - do you think you could do one with more charcoal and light sections? Kind of a glacial black color they sell?

great vid

thanks this is the business I need to start

Waaw that was amazing

i think I will be watching more of your videos.

Good job
