DIY Creators did you give permission for another channel to use your videos? I dont know if you know but there is a diy Creator latino. Its your videos but in Spanish
I hate it when everyone edits their's out. They want you to think that they are perfect. But we all know that even the one's who have been building for 50 years, still makes mistakes.
Hey bud a few tricks to help you out with this. 1. Try using the rapid set flow control as well, you will get a much more fluid consistency for pouring out. 2. At the color to the water before mixing the cement, you will get a much more consistent color 3. Use a brush across the top to give a rough texture, this will help you bond to another surface during install creating more surface area for your mortar or adhesive to bond too. Good video though
2. With rapid set you often times do not have to mix it well enough it is much better to mix color in the water prior to powder. 3. While trying achieve the best bond you must have a rough or textured surface on both the stone and substrate I’ve been a mason for 15 years I’m just trying to help out and not argue with a (RUclips mechanic)
adding color to the water wouldn't apply here because he did more than one shade so less trouble, time and containers this way, most should understand but always good to hear from an expert...thanks!
This is a color test and how to on a smaller scale. if you are doing a project you will be pouring solid colors from a single bag not several colors from a bag
@@medaw1987 yeah but if you want to start with original then the water has to be added without color first and no one wants to mix several small portions.
Again I’m giving my expert advice I work with cement everyday and have done so for longer than a decade. I’ve used powder colorants liquid colorants oil based stains and water pasted stains. I’m not here to argue with (RUclips mechanics) or weekend Pinterest warriors. Take my advice or don’t you do what you want you tube viewers
Brother, you know why you relate to so many of us? Not only do you explain projects thoroughly, but you scraped up the cement that spilled over. That's like many of us that don't want to waste anything. Thank you for being real.
Having worked in the stone veneer industry, a trick to make the flat dry stack look more natural is to paint the mold before pouring the mix. The mold we use were made of urethane. The even solid color in the ones in the video are good if they are going to be painted thoroughly, but for a real stone look, I would recommend trying a cement mix coloring. Grays, blues and some browns for a slate look with a rusty sediments. I really like your videos. Keep them up!!
I love it! I had to fix some steps for my aging parents so I did some practice with different types of con concrete. In the past few weeks I’ve spent all my free time playing with molds or building mini rock walls. The stuff is inspiring once you get comfortable because there are so many possibilities.
I used cooking spray when I made my concrete countertops, along with charcoal coloring, just as he did. When I un-molded the slabs the cooking spray had some kind of strange reaction with the concrete because it gave it a marble-like look. Light and dark areas. Purely unintentional but looks great! Sometimes our best results come from our mistakes!
@@ggumfory are you sure it was the cooking spray and not your colorant? I've been making flower pots and large planters and would love to get a marble-ized finish.
@@jcrefasi1 To be honest, I'm not sure why it made the pattern it did. It's just that the pattern looks like where the spray pooled. I mixed the concrete with a concrete mixer so the color was well blended. Shortly after, I made a smaller countertop, forgot to apply the cooking spray, and it didn't make any kind of pattern. Just smooth and uniform. Who knows!
@@ggumforyThanks!! it sure sounds like the cooking spray. I normally work with it as a release for my hypertufa flower pots. I want to experiment with color for a countertop reno
Thank you my friend for helping for helping this old dog new tricks. I bought the molds online but didn't had a clue of how to make it. Like you, i already have a thousand ideas in my head, good work buddy!
With over thirty years of hearing demonstration speeches as a professor of speech, I have to give you the highest marks for presentation along with my thanks for sharing very useful information in a listenable way.
Sweet, thanks for this, came up in my feed after I did some searches for other DIY videos and I am very happy I checked it out. This is a project were thinking of doing in the near future.
Hi! Thanks for the video. An advice to remove all the air bubbles is to spray a mix of water and isopropyl to the mould prior to pouring your material, allowing perfect flow as the surface tension in the water is changed.
Now that's a huge way to save a ton pf money. Takes a lot longer than just buying them but the money you save in the long run, can go towards something else. Keep up the great work brother.
I respect this youtuber a lot Not only he gives out his own skills and ideas freely but he explains all of the steps and gives enough information for the audience to understand what he is talking about. He is very kind to his subscribers and his voice is just beautiful too. This dude literally has gods hands 😂😂. I love your vids😀😀
i knew these were a thing, but seeing somebody else do it and talk about the possibilities. now i know what i wanna do with the few extra bags of concrete i have in my garage
@DIYCreator - Nice simple tutorial friend. I recommend you lightly mist the molds before pouring(should help minimize with bubbles). Also, for the bubbles, i recommend you use an air chisel on the underside of the table u set your moslds on. This should remove ALL bubbles if done correctly. Put something like a small block of wood between the chisel and your table to save your table from being chewed up. I would also recommend you use iron oxide pigment for coloring your stones. Simply mist the mold and dust the mold with the pigment. Once pigment in mold, mist again if needed to make sure the pigment is moistened. immediately pour over the pigment and vibrate out the bubbles. Your stone will look amazing. Good luck. Feel free to ask if you have questions. ( I used to have some ownership in a manufactured (man made) stone company and made this stuff for a living.) We used cold pour rubber molds which we framed into a box, instead of the plastic trays.
Thanks for the video. Been looking at those same forms but couldn't tell what they were like from the pictures. They look like they came out well. This has helped a lot.
Any video from Glenn gets my thumbs up, even before I see it. Never been disappointed. Considering the price of the molds this would require a bigger job to make it worthwhile
Great video. I'd seen a number of different forms, but the "stacked stone" is by far my favorite. This stuff would make a gorgeous facade for a tiny house, a fence, or any number of projects. With a little "doctoring" to the form before pouring a mottled appearance can be had. Grey with bits of lighter grey or reddish, with striations of beige, just like we see in nature. Two thumbs up!
I couldn’t click subscribe fast enough. After I watched the floating shelves one, I was impressed. You describe so good step by step. Please! Keep making videos!
A couple drops of dish soap in a sprayer with water sprayed and excess wiped off will help it pop alternatively you can put a tiny hole in the mold and blow compressed air to bond break it tape it up for future casting. Look into dry brushing paints to give it depth and texture, model makers will have simple tutorials on the process. I'd recommend going to your garden section of your big box store and finding some 5mm boxed mesh to insert into it just like the back of real stack stone. It will strengthen it if your laying near vibration also throw a quick sealer onto if it's going outside.
I needed this video, I have small brick forms just like the ones you have and I now know I'll have to mix half a bag first since I only have two forms and the bricks, 10 per form are only 1/4 inch thick. Thank you!
DIY Creators I'm wondering if you could get some interesting effects by mixing a few different colored concretes in small batches and then scooping small amounts into the form to create some color variation on the face of the "stone". Glad to see someone do this as a diy!
I worked as a concrete slab maker for over a decade. If you want to remove the air bubbles so you get a cleaner finish then you have to use a vibrater for a few mins to release all air bubbles. Either a vibrating table or a vibrating rod
When pour molding, do a small pour first to cover the textured surface of the mold, pour the excess back into the bucket. Then knock the bubbles out of this thin layer nearest the mold surface. At this point you can even use a brush to make sure you get into all the nooks and crevices of the mold. After knocking the bubbles out, fill the mold again as you were before. This will cut way down on surface bubbles and ensure you get a fully molded result from your casting.
Take old motor oil and grease inside of mold for easy release....motor oil is the best thing to use any time you make a mold or form for any type of concrete job.
@@jamesmcdermott5048 did you say what pro's use because its cheaper? Sir are you dumb, old oil don't cost you a thing. You must of missed that part of the key word OLD. I had no clue they had a very expensive motor oil called OLD oil. You probably have never even done anything with concrete....go sit down pro thx!
Thank you sir, this video was informative. I bought my stacked stones to decorate my fire place. I wasn't happy with the price. But i can see now it don't take too much time to make at home. Time is money, so i will gladly take my time to save a few bucks lol.
To save some weight and possibly money, you could probably use plaster of paris with those molds if the work is going to be inside. Concrete for exterior for sure. You could enhance the stone look by painting them to look more realistic! This is a great idea, thanks for this vid!
Thank you very much for this video ! Your step by step took the mystery out of creating my own stacked stone peices ! Many ideas for this fall/ next spring for a wall around a fire pit as well as a few projects around my home and the garden beds !!
They are usually stained. People that do floors have colors on the internet just for cement. I don't know if they stain them on the top or the cement it's self. Painting the outside of them, they would fade over time. The stain and sealer works just for the cement.
You set them with mortar just as you would any stone or brick. You could use a construction adhesive as well. Your backing could be drywall, wood sheeting, or madonary.
some stones have a top lip to help seal. they'll sometimes have metal or other material to strengthen it. they'll also have a few dozen more molds so you dont see a pattern as quickly.
Great video, you can spinkle multi dry colored powders in the mold like the ones they broadcast on slabs right before they put the rubber stamps down, this will give you a multi color variegated look.
Would using something like this be appropriate for exterior works such as the foundation of a house or making concrete steps looks nicer? This seems like a.oretty fun project. How heavy do the blocks end up being?
Bela, that is what I am doing. The cost for siding is way too much, so I am doing this. $2,000. over $30,000. sounds like a good deal to me. I think about 5-8 lbs they should weigh.
Even with the amount I would need and the time it would take it still seems way more cost effective to do it on your own, the pre made veneer is so expensive , thanks for the video i didn’t even think this option was available , love your videos and thanks for all the tips.
Wow thanks for sharing this. I live in the Netherlands and these stones don’t come cheap the going price for 1m2 sells for 42 euros. My girlfriend will be happy with this solution. 👍👍
Excellent job and video. I am about to build a bar and was just looking at these Stones two days ago. The prices are not great on some of the higher end ones and not so terrible on the lower-end ones. Locally for me it's about $4.50 per square foot for the mid grade ones. But I really like the idea of being able to select my own mold and stylings and colors. As always, excellent job on the video and explanations. Thank you.
for interior use and weight reduction like to see a plaster of paris experiment. reinforce with canvas or something and the cast can be hollow somewhat to save on plaster.

this looks legit AF. So creative. I love that you can reduce your cost per tile going this way. I’m going to try this one
AWSOME video! So well explained, right down to why you should wear a mask! SO important! Thanks so much!!!
oh wow so you can blend more earth, sand, and white tones to make realistic looking stones. This is really cool.

Try setting the mix partially blended before it's a solid color. I'd like to see what that looks like.

WOW, never thought to make my own molds .. great idea !! will defiantly have to give this a shot!!!
Would I glue these to some cement blocks for a wall? Or to wood for a planter?
You set them with mortar just as you would any stone or brick. You could use a construction adhesive as well. Your backing could be drywall, wood sheeting, or madonary.
Very cool I bought some molds last year and still haven't used them think I will try them this winter so I have them ready for spring.
Is you want your cement to set quicker, add salt (NaCl)
Wonderful Video wish you had this one last year when I did my Bro-in-laws basement bar but now thanks to you I have even more ideas!!!!
Looks good and a lot less expensive than buying the stones.
some stones have a top lip to help seal. they'll sometimes have metal or other material to strengthen it. they'll also have a few dozen more molds so you dont see a pattern as quickly.
Oooooo that flip at 0:18 was clean. Awesome content, seen from Reddit.
Next video, how I installed stacked stone on the exterior of my house.
Great video, you can spinkle multi dry colored powders in the mold like the ones they broadcast on slabs right before they put the rubber stamps down, this will give you a multi color variegated look.
Would using something like this be appropriate for exterior works such as the foundation of a house or making concrete steps looks nicer?
This seems like a.oretty fun project. How heavy do the blocks end up being?
I would like to know as well. My foundation below my siding looks barren
I'm curious as well
Bela, that is what I am doing. The cost for siding is way too much, so I am doing this. $2,000. over $30,000. sounds like a good deal to me. I think about 5-8 lbs they should weigh.

Even with the amount I would need and the time it would take it still seems way more cost effective to do it on your own, the pre made veneer is so expensive , thanks for the video i didn’t even think this option was available , love your videos and thanks for all the tips.
a light coat of mold release will help with the removal from the molds. A light coat of cooking spray works wonders as a mold release.
What a cool and creative project! My inspired wheels are spinning. These would look great on an outdoor fireplace. So many possibilities!
I’m doing this now. I wish I would have seen this before I bought a couple boxes of airstone. Do they make corner molds?
Should be prety easy to filk the corner with cement since that what its made of

Cool project. Would be nice to see a price breakdown though.
60-70$ for 9 molds and cement depends on where u live .. where i live the bag u see in the video is around 1-5$ here
