Great video! Thanks so much!… I’ve done this before with baking soda and joint compound for indoor planters. But I need something stronger for outdoors. So I bought Plaster of Paris. But I wasn’t sure which ratios to use or if it would even work. So I really appreciate your help and if you don’t mind, I’d like to reciprocate by sharing my methods for application, which I’ve learned through trial and error- So first…primer definitely makes a huuuge difference. Second, I mix my paint with whatever hardening agent I’m using…(whether it be baking soda, flour or joint compound). Third, I apply with a brush (rounded preferably) and use a stippling motion. (Light first coat and heavier second). Lastly, I seal it with a matte clear coat just as you did. Except I use Rustoleum’s Triple Thick Clear Glaze in Matte. (Although, I’m pretty sure they’re all one and the same. As long as you seal it with something). Hope this helps even if just a little and thanks again so much for sharing this video and your opinions. (I appreciate your authenticity. It’s refreshing).
Heads up Noelle. Cheap old joint compound in powder form is about 1/3 of the cost of Plaster of Paris and it is basically the same thing--and--has the same effect. You can get a huge bag of joint compound too for a fraction of what Plaster of Paris costs.
It amazes me every time how you turn ordinary objects into extraordinary! Nice work my friend! I was wondering how they held up, so thankful you shared. 🥰
I really enjoyed your experiment and tutorial. Try exterior DAP Platinum Patch joint compound. I heard that anything intended for the outdoors should be EXTERIOR specific. I live in the desert SW so I will give it a try with DAP Platinum.
YOU DID AN AWESOME JOB! AND I TOO, LOVE TO DO STUFF LIKE THIS. AND IVE BEEN CONTEMPLATING WHETHER TO GRAB SOME COMPOUND OR PLASTER , SINCE IVE NEVER USED THIS STUFF BEFORE,,, SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEMONSTRATION AND CAPARISON,,,ITS REALLY GONNA HELP ME OUT AND ONE MORE THANG,, YOU REALLY SHOULD KEEP MAKIN THESE KINDS OF VIDEOS,, YOU COME ACROSS WITH ATTITUDE AS A SUPER NICE PERSON
Taking in a big project and I was looking exactly for this info! Thanks so much:) I loved the finish with the joint compound, I wonder if mixing in some plaster with the joint compound might be effective in helping with the cracking though
Unfortunately, I also discovered that Joint compound isnt meant to be wet or in the elements . I went outside and had a puddle of white all over my deck. I went over them with cement and painted and they have been fine for 2 years now.

Plaster of Paris didn't sticking to the plastic pot. Disappointing......
I think it was the joint compound that didn't work
