This is a fantastic video!❤ I actually just made my first rocks 4 days ago, but just found your video today. The tip about using bags to mix/pour the cement is so valuable.! I live in an apartment and have been trying to find ways to make this craft less messy. I had to sneak out in the middle of the night to discard my cement water along the alleyway fence,...lol. Using the bag technique for mixing will really alleviate my clean up stress. I really appreciate the tip of using cold water.... I used warm thinking the cement would mix up easier... which it did. But it started setting up immediately and I had to add more water. I did not get any bubbles on the top of my stones, but will still try rinsing my molds with soap water next time. I did not sand off the backs yet, but intend to do it immediately after taking them out of the molds next time. I think it's will be more difficult when they are completely dry... especially my mini ones will be challenging to handle. Thank you so much! I'm excited to bring out my cement again!! Rock on!!🎉❤🎉
I have made rocks before and have had mixed results,then over a year ago I saw your video and it seemed to me worth trying. I have used it with great success. Thank you.
Love this video. Have you ever tried white portland cement. Much cheaper and white. Love the bag idea. Thank you. When your daughter whispered i thought you had spiritual assistance.😂 She sounds very kind and nice.
Wow ! Can't believe you made this video a year ago and I just found you ! SOOOO happy I did 🤗. This video was amazing .. you my dear are the best ! Ive never seen one so clearly explained and sooooo helpful with all your smart tips to boot ! I will be following you from here on in. I've always used the UltraCal30 but wanted to try this Cement All cuz everyone's saying it is much more cost effective...and it is 👍. Thank you again for this wonderful video. And hats off to your "camera man (woman)" - good job both of you ❣️🥰🤗🤗🥰❤️

Thank you so much for ur kind words!! After some encouragement from Wanda. I had a lot of fun making this video! My daughter made a wonderful camera-woman!! She took her task very seriously! 💕
I want to make "story stones" for elementary age kids in my classroom, helps them learn "before" and "after" - comprehension and order of story lines. Not that I think they'll weaponize the story stones and throw them around the classroom, but they will be held and manipulated by little hands, how do they hold up if dropped on tile or cement floors? Love your tutorial, you're an inspiration :)
They don't hold up if dropped. They'll shatter if dropped on a hard surface. I recommend real stones for the "story stones" What a fabulous idea! I love it.
Glad u like the baggie method!! Makes things so easy!! Here is the link for the 3 rock! www.amazon.com/Creative-Silicone-Cavities-Jewellery-Decorations/dp/B088X1DT39/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=rock+mold&qid=1614915554&sr=8-4
@@thefoilingrocklady Thank you for your quick reply... I live in the UK and cannot find the cement that you are using, would you happen to know what I could use in my country at all?
I believe that was a silicone mold. Really you can use many plastic containers to make a mold. Ive used rubermaid containers. Lids. Packaging. If it has a cool design and is plastic it should be ok.

Thank you good info
Thank you! Margie is so amazing.
What type of soap is in the spray?
@@BW2Color.Stephanie the type doesn't matter much.
Have you tried a few drops of your soapy mixture in the mixing to see if it eliminates some of the bubbles?
No, I've never heard of that. Thanks for the tip
I have only used the soap in spraying the molds.
How different is it by mixing it into the cement? Do u use this method?
@@thefoilingrocklady did you ever try the soap water in your mixture?
Thank you, why don’t you fill the molds completely? Specifically the Happy Dotting molds?
@terrygaume it's personal preference really. I like thinner items to paint.
I don't over fill bec then I would have to possibly file down the overfill area.
Where is the mold with the 3 different rocks from? I have all the others. Never thought of doing the mixture in a bag, good idea. Thanks
Glad u like the baggie method!! Makes things so easy!!

Hi, new subscriber here, can I use tap water to mix the cement? Thank you for a great tutorial, the best I've watched x
Yes, you can use tap water. Thank you for the kind words. Margie did an amazing job filming that.
@@thefoilingrocklady Thank you for your quick reply... I live in the UK and cannot find the cement that you are using, would you happen to know what I could use in my country at all?
Hi! Ask at your home store for a quick setting cement. They come in various bag sizes.
how did you make scalloped edges on the heart rock
There r molds available with that scalloped edge.
Can you resin this
Absolutely

Hi daughter❤
Lol! My daughter took her job very seriously! I will tell her u said hi!! 💕
Do your molds made with this product Crack or chip? Is it strong? Ty
They can break if dropped. But I find the cement all to be stronger.
