If someone hasn’t told you already once you get it mostly smooth use plastic bag to make impressions on the outside it makes great realistic impressions of real rock
@@casual454t1 We used about two cans of the spray foam insulation. The plastic bottles actually fill most of the inside space. Thank you for your question and watching our videos.
Very cool! It worked well for us and is still going strong. We have several projects underway and are excited to share more videos with you soon. Thank you for watching!
If you add reinforcement fiber it becomes very very strong and self supporting. Great idea to use expanding foam as the form. Cement and soft sand on a ratio of 1/3 and add some colour dyes. Great job.
Exactly what I thought as he initially formed it. Fossilized dinosaur 🦖 poop in the middle of the lawn. Doesn't look anything like a natural rock. However, I give the project of self learning an excellent grade. 💯
Just put portland over the top. Use a bonding primer if you want. Use a concrete stain/dye and pour the liquid into the mix and make it colored. Red and black is cool and making it layerwd is awesome. Plus glazing it at the end but with a matte gloss or flat is best. You can make theae better by making them round and then putting them into the ground.
Thank you! We used two cans of spray foam insulation and 3-4 plastic bottles. It is still holding up quite well and we will post an update video later this year.
I was a cement sculptor at Disneyland and Disney's Califorinia Adventure and we used "Specmix" it comes in 97lb sacks and is already mixed with aggraget and lime so all you have to do is mix and apply, we used a scratch coat then the next day shot it on thick and let it take up a while then carved it and textured it!
Thank you! It is holding up very well. This was very experimental, and we are pleased with the outcome. We will post an update later this year to show how it's doing.
You did a GREAT JOB with the footage and narrative. Yet your rock looks more like an UFO or a place where a big dog has recently left a big pile of poop on your straw/lawn. Painting needs contrasting colors and the shape sharper edges and variety. Deep scratches, more angles and slopes. (10:48) Nature is not as "regular" as you made it look. Again: for the first time - really great work.
Thank you for watching our video and providing feedback! It definitely looks like an unidentified pile of something, haha. We have several projects underway and will implement some of your feedback then.
Hahaha... (There IS some fairly large cattle around here... LOL) It is more of an art project. Just a good way for us to experiment with different materials. Thank you for your comment and the faux rock is still going strong after direct sunlight in the middle of the summer, snow and torrential wind and rain.
Hey! Thanks. The foam and the plastic bottles are permanent fixtures of the "rock." The foam and bottles are giving it a solid interior structure. It is still going strong after direct sunlight in the middle of the summer, snow and torrential wind and rain.
hahaha Zdecydowanie tak! Dobre połączenie. Dziękujemy za oglądanie i komentowanie! From Lukasz: It looks like a cow pie in a meadow. Best regards Our Reply: hahaha It definitely does! Good call. Thank you for watching and commenting!
That looks awesome! I read that rocks look best in groups of 3 in contrasting shapes/sizes. Next video project? Haha, I'd watch it. Can I get an estimated weight and size after it had dried? Great video 👍
Haha awesome! Thank you for watching and subscribing! We definitely have several projects in the works and we may make a few more "rocks" to go alongside it. It is roughly 2.5ft across at the bottom and total weight is less than 30lbs.
Thank you for your question. The ratio is about 1.5 quarts of water for each 40lb bag, but we mixed it slowly until we found the consistency we needed to mold and sculpt with it.
