@Dollectable_Dreams 2 года назад

You can get them on Aliexpress for very cheap, like 15 eur. There are hundreds of styles and actually you are better off to buy the ones that have no bottom, so you cam make them on any flat surface and you only need one, two molds. You make a thicker mix, fill your mold with cement, remove the mold and continue. Let them dry and then put in place. Or mold them directly on the space you want to tile. I bought one and the plastic is very thick and durable.

@patglenn7762 7 лет назад

My experience with the 123 concrete formula is that 48-72 hours is about right. Also, to save a few $, a good bonder agent is just white wood glue and water. (Trade secret from years back)

@dramamask 7 лет назад

Right! I discovered demolding even at 24 hours was too soon! They are really strong now though! :) Yes, I use PVA glue for bonder quite often! :)

@patglenn7762 7 лет назад

Traditionally it was animal glue. PVA is the modern equivalent. But I'm guessing they don't send "Ol' Silver" to the knackers yard anymore.

If I don't have a vibrator table would it do if I put it on top of the washing machine on a fast spin :) Seriously I don't have one - What will happen if I don't shake it?

@dramamask 6 лет назад

Haha! I have tried a washing machine, but had no luck. Maybe your brand and model will be more successful. You can make your own vibrating tables using various power tools. Basically, getting the air out of the concrete will give you a stronger mix, plus reduce any hole filling on the surface of the cast. :)

@KodyKimani 6 лет назад

I made one slab now - did no vibrating at all... and it turned out lovely - then i put some weight on it and it went into pieces. :(

@KodyKimani 6 лет назад

@samfirth7218 4 года назад

How do you prevent concrete from warping ? I made some but I didnt cover with plastic and possibly demolded to early is this why they warped?

@dramamask 4 года назад

I don't know as I have never had a problem with concrete warping, I don't think. If you demolded early the only problem I can think you would have is the concrete being too brittle for demold.

@toddoliver3385 Год назад

Either mix was too wet or more likely it dried unevenly... like the top dried & shrunk, causing it to curl up. Misting the surface with water every hour or so will help this & keep the concrete whiter (possible stronger too).

@valrybar4944 6 лет назад

Does it make economical sense to make your own slabs? How much would it cost to make 600×600 for example?

@dramamask 6 лет назад

It can make economical sense. You'll have to work out what it would cost to make a slab with the materials you use, plus your own labour.

@andrewholz1414 6 лет назад

My personal estimate using my local paver prices and accounting for the costs of a mortar mixer, vibrating table, concrete Pam (lol), disposable trowels & shovels, and the miscellaneous molds, you would have to me make approximately 100 (20"x20") pavers to beat store costs, fluctuating up or down by approximately 15 pavers with varying sand, grout, and aggregate prices. So if you don't plan on makin about 100 (20"x20") pavers, it is MUCH more cost effective to use the autonomously made pavers from your local hardware store. Imagine if everyone made their own pavers. There would be much greater use/waste of natural resources (already a worldwide sand shortage) than if we left it to the multi million dollar machines whose objectives are to limit waste and create a product people trust. That being said, i'm sure the quality of the pavers you made in this video are top notch, and I'd jump at the opportunity to purchase some.

@bigoldgrizzly 3 года назад

What price can you put on the fun of doing this and the satisfaction of a job well done ?? The economic benefits of diy slab making increase dramatically when you have a lot of slabs to do and can order materials in bulk - I buy direct from the quarry which gives huge savings over diy stores or even builders merchants. Once you are done making, provided you look your moulds, you can get up to 2/3rds of your outlay back when you re-sell. If you have a concrete mixer, work out how many moulds you can fill per mix, and just buy that many moulds

@dramamask 4 года назад

There's obviously something not level. It's not rocket science and you just need to put your slabs in the molds where it is level. Your molds might be off, but I can't see that being the problem unless they are distorted or something. Everything can be checked beforehand with a spirit level and you can see the level of the concrete when you have poured.

What the purpose of the washing liquid

Can't find the mold you used on ebay. Can you offer any help? Perhaps a link?

Terrill Melville I have about 60 of them moulds if your interested ? (New condition)

@@shaneaustin7302 That previous comment was actually from me. Sorry I was logged into a different account and didn't realize. I'll ask again. Are they easy to reuse? Would you be selling all or just some of them?

@shaneaustin7302 5 лет назад

Terrill Melville yes there easy to reuse as long as you use release agent before filling the mould. How many would you be interested in ? Do you live in England ?

@@shaneaustin7302 My bad. I live in the US. Those would probably be a fortune to ship. If not I would be interested. How much would it be for all of them?

You need to add some water first

@dramamask 6 лет назад

Excuse me?

@frankiewilliams3295 6 лет назад

To the bottom of your bucket then is a lot easier to mix and quicker no dry regions plus would of been better to watch too.

@frankiewilliams3295 6 лет назад

You did great job tho :) just remembering myself mixing my first bucket of plaster like you mixed that concrete, jobs a treat tho.

@dramamask 6 лет назад

I prefer to add water to my mix, rather than adding the mix to the water. Not ideal to mix in a bucket and of course a cement mixer would be better. If your method works for you, then great. :)

@dramamask 6 лет назад

Cheers Frankie. With some plasters, I will also add the plaster to the water. With concrete, I will add the water to the concrete mix.

Crocs are mighty comfortable, once you try them you'll find them pleasing.

@rustyfox2794 6 лет назад

I was just thinking how the mix was just on the wet side, but probably still okay, and then you said, "A touch more water' before turning it into soup!!! Seriously, you weakened the end result by about 40% by making it so wet!

@dramamask 6 лет назад

The mix wasn't like 'soup' at all. The mix didn't move when mixed and was relatively firm and if anything more of a slurry, if you watched the video. Speeding the video up while pouring into the molds onto the vibrating table may have given the illusion that it was a thinner mix. The slabs made in this video are rock hard and are still rock hard. No indication of weakened concrete whatsoever.

@rustyfox2794 6 лет назад

If I watched the video? What, do you think people come to RU-vid and just randomly leave comments on videos they haven't watched? Of course I watched the video. I'm talking about when you were mixing it in the tub. When using a vibrating table you make the mix much drier than usual. Try it - mix some so that it looks like it's way too dry. Put it into a mold on the vibrating table, and watch it liquefy before your eyes. When you turn off the vibration, it will go solid. When it was like soup was when it was on the vibrating table, and it did run like soup!

@dramamask 6 лет назад

Wasn't like soup at all. If anything, on the slurry side. The mix was fine and like I have said, the slabs turned out perfect and at good strength. Maybe you could make a video to show us all how you make your slabs.

@rustyfox2794 6 лет назад

If you say so.

@dramamask 6 лет назад

Make a video and show us how to do it.
