we used to do this as well, but more like 350 to 400 sq ft at a time,plus we brushed on the oxide pigment into the silicon mold, we still colored our cement with the oxide dyes. Our mixes had 1/4" to 3/8" aggregate size stones, as well as fiberglass fiber added. Our admixtures were duracem and polarset. Duracem simply made the mix easier to pour and work with, the polarset just made it cure quicker, like in 1/2 the time. On any given day we would produce about 8500 to 9000 sq ft a day.. But then the "Housing Bubble" collapsed, and then that was the end of that! Buddy tells me that everyone showed up for work but found the doors closed and locked, and a note that said the GM would come to explain. 35 people lost their job just like that. I was smart and left for a new job about 9 mo earlier. The others didn't handle it too well.
Top man, you can tell how knowledgeable you are in this field. Given me the motivation to have a go and maybe set up a side hustle selling some ornaments .
Very informative, and you do a great job at explaining the process. I'm making flagstones using concrete mix and molds, and I've been wanting to add some streaks of green and reddish iron oxide to make them look more like real stones. Your video showing the "paint it in the mold" method is just what I've been looking for. Thanks!
I mixed acrylic paints with a concrete penetrating sealer and it worked pretty well. Still had to add a clear sealer on top of it though, mainly to protect the finish a little more. It made some interesting looking countertops that are holding up pretty well so far. Epoxy makes an awesome concrete finish too, especially for countertops or floors.
@@GlobMarble Actually I was going for an exotic marble look. We used a fluid art technique (dirty pour/straight pour) to get the desired effect. The counters are doing well so far, they've been holding up to normal cleaning. I am concerned that the clear coat will eventually start to break down and I'll have to re-do it, but that's not unusual for concrete or stone countertops. I have hand painted cultured stone before. I've got about 30 or so molds that I use for different projects. I have not tested this mix on exterior applications though. Generally, when I'm painting stone I go for a non-uniform look to more closely mimic real stones.
Thats cool, I could see this being used for countertops, but it would be little too time consuming for mass produced wall stones. Could you send me a picture of the countertop at Sales@globmarble.com?
@@GlobMarble Yeah, I'm not sure how well it would work for mass production. Although, I don't think it would be much slower than painting the molds, it would just be after the stones had cured for a bit. I'll have some videos up hopefully soon. I've got some pictures though, I'll be happy to send them over. :)
I have been looking for the right caps for my pond wall. I watched both beginner videos and will make the molds up this weekend. I did not know about the difference between store pre-mixed and concrete and self mixed cement and sand. I will definitely self mix. Now off to watch the vibration table video.
You are the first to show this in detail. Very helpful. Could you maybe show you to produce the lighter colors like tans? The rocks local to my area are very light in color and I would like to try and match those as best I can.
Thank you Vlad for the excellent tutorial! I cast a stone panel using the pigment painting method, but I think I picked pigments that were too different and I didn't think it looked natural, so I used a stain overtop and I think it looks better. I also tried the first method and really like that look especially after using sandpaper to scuff the edges to look more natural. I have to wait a few more days before I can apply sealant and then I will post my results. Keep making great videos!
Sounds great! The scuff marks will disappear after you seal but you can just scuff up the sealed surface again. By the way, do you mind if we post your video on some of our other social media platforms?
@@GlobMarble Thank you for the tips on the scuff and seal! Sure you can post my video I don't mind at all! Your videos have helped inspire me to keep at making veneer even when I've made mistakes and been frustrated. So I hope I can give back too and help other newbies get over the challenges of starting out. I have done a lot of DIY renovations to my house over the last 9 years so that inspires me to want to make more videos to help people learn some construction tips.
Nice job I didn’t know about this technique with pouring concrete in silicone stone molds !I just got done installing 70 square ft of ledger stone behind a wood burning stove !Good video
I like the idea of wall stones. Could be very modern and contemporary. Forgive my ignorance but how would you mount those since you didn’t imbed hardware into the wet cement?
Thanks for the comment! I usually use a 2 parts sand to 1 part cement mix ratio. In the description of the video I have links to all tools and materials I used. The molds all have specific casting weights of each part in the website description, check it out
I would like to see an explanatory video of the Ledgestone mold LS 2001/1 and Stone Veneer Molds VS 101/2 .. I have in mind to make an investment in those molds, I would like to see the result and installation of the stones. Thanks Globmarble! keep in that way! greetings from Argentina!
Using the G1 release agent allows our molds to be casted thousands of times. Any other product may work in the short term but may ruin the molds and cost you much more money in the long run
Wow, thank you so much Vlad. I have been looking for this for some time now. You taught me so well and I'm really gearing up to do wonders in my house. Keep it up brother.
So effective and practical..Thanks. I appreciate if you can tell me that , Are we heating the bricks in the oven/fire to make it hard after it gets dry?
The stones in this video are for external use. Every mold on our website has a detailed mixing guide with exact quantities of cement, sand, superplasticizer and water to use with each mold. You can find our molds here- globmarble.com/concrete-stones/concrete-stone/
No concrete requires water curing, but water curing will always make the concrete stronger. So in short, water curing is not required but will still give you great benefits.
Hello. Nice work. I am fron Dominican Republic. I am trying to start with triste Kind of work. But the big problem I have know is the way to protect the Stone. Please, I would like that you recomend me a product that I can buy in amazon to protect stone against water. Thank 😊
The easiest way is to use a sealer. We sell acrylic sealers which are UV resistant here- globmarble.com/decorative-concretes/concrete-sealers/acrylic-sealers2/
Great work bro. I live in Zimbabwe and just ventured into this business, unfortunately we dont have all the stains and sealants available here. Would it be possible to export to Zimbabwe? And I would really like to know what you use to wash your moulds after production especially when you want to change colours?
Whose molds to you think are the most realistic look for River stone or a stacked stone? I am wondering if you have ever poured multiple shades of concrete in the same mold to create a more variegated look?
We have a mold for river stones, you can find it here- globmarble.com/river-rock-mold-rs-4001.htmlif you would like to see the coloring method you are talking about I mentioned it in this video- ruclips.net/video/qTl2A2g1Llw/видео.html
Nice tutorial! I hope you are able to give me advice. I bought face split tiles, I expected to be beige/cream colour but they are more white/grey. Any idea how to colour them? Thanks
I would recommend going with one of our stain options (the method I used for the white stone). We have many stain color options; you can check them out here- globmarble.com/water-based-concrete-stain-eco-stain.html
You could use some stones which aren't as long and place them in a circular fashion around the wall (check out our castle stones) globmarble.com/concrete-stones/concrete-stone/castle-stone-molds/ or you can physically bend the mold like seen in this video- ruclips.net/video/5HbsmFgdz0g/видео.html
A sealer will turn it even darker. The best way to ballpark how your concrete will look like with a sealer on it is to just wet it with water. A sealer would also remove the sandpaper antiquing effect. I should have mentioned it in the video but you don't need a sealer for the first method, none of the color will fade or rub off on your clothes or hands when you touch it like it would if you would use method 2 or 3 :)
Yes, we sell all of the products you see me using in the video. I have all the molds and pigments I used in the description of the video, but you can also check out all of our other molds here- globmarble.com/
@@GlobMarble I relay like the first method when you give shadows with the sandpaper! But if you put the sealer on the stone will be black as before or not?
It wouldn't be the same because the oxide pigments will clog up your spray bottle, they will settle to the bottom of your water much quicker, and you wont get the same results every time. To be safe, use the stains and oxide pigments as designed :)
Well done and very informative, I am looking to make some freehand stone slabs for a water feature, moulds to retain basic shape only and then hand trowel end result. The colour techniques you demonstrated I will use to best advantage to achieve a near natural look.
Thanks for the great video, I have a question. I always see air void on top surface no matter how long I vibrate it in the molds. Your stones didn't have any, what's your suggestions for me to prevent air void?
Do you use premixed concrete? Most premixed concretes will always give you voids. This is why we recommend using a 1 part cement, 2 parts sand mix with some superplasticizer which is measured at a 1% of cement weight dosage. The superplasticizer makes the mix much more liquid without making it any weaker. Also for large scale productions, we recommend using a vibration table. This will greatly reduce the amount of time you need to vibrate. All of these products could be found on our website.
@@GlobMarble I would like to see an explanatory video of the Ledgestone mold LS 2001/1 and Stone Veneer Molds VS 101/2 .. I have in mind to make an investment in those molds, I would like to see the result and installation of the stones. Thanks Globmarble! keep in that way! greetings from Argentina!
no you are not vibrating too much. chances are you need to add a plasticizer to reduce water / bubble amount - globmarble.com/concrete-additive-water-reducer-super-plasticizer.html
The cheapest way to get a matte finish is using SuperWB and diluting it with water. You can try out different dilution ratios on sample pieces to get the perfect look for you- globmarble.com/concrete-sealer-water-based.html
You can use either cement with sand, or plaster of paris. plaster of paris is for indoor stones only, you cannot use plaster stones for exterior surfaces
nice video. we manufacture stone as well. it's interesting and educational to see how other people are doing it. Your stone looks great. Are there certain pigment colors that are used more than others for body color? We either use no pigment or 3447 buff color. Trying new mix colors is on our to do list.
We don't actually manufacture the stone; we just manufacture and sell the molds. Some of our bestselling pigments are 8084, 6804, 160, and 6130. You can find them here- globmarble.com/concrete-color-oxide-pigment.html
And also can you upload a video of installing these up on a wall . All I see is videos on how they are made but never how they look on a wall when the project is finished
I will make an in-depth video on installation sometime in the near future. You can see a quick snippet in our into video though- ruclips.net/video/BeZPrPW4KvM/видео.html
We ship world wide!! Every mold I used is in the description but you can choose from all of our molds here- globmarble.com/concrete-stones/concrete-stone/
Question I was drilling in to my step I think its stone but it broke it was a clean brake so I was able to set it back but I rub some tin set in the crack what should I do to make it all one color again
Mold VS-501- globmarble.com/veneer-stone-mold-vs-501.html Mold MS871- globmarble.com/mosaic-stone-mold-ms-871.html All of our molds- globmarble.com/concrete-stones/concrete-stone/ Also check out the links in the description!
If I already have stone made from concrete that’s on my house is there a good way to color it? I used a cleaner that was recommended to clean grout off the stone, which it did but it also took the color off the stone.
I am an artist. I just created some amazing pieces using products of yours purchased on Amazon. I'll definitely be going direct. I would like to make my own molds, do you sell the rubber? .
The paint I sprayed on is called a stain, made specifically for this purpose. I don't recommend any other paint. Here is the link- globmarble.com/water-based-concrete-stain-eco-stain.html
Someone knows how I can make stone with light colors? I know that white cement should be used as a base, but to paint the different stones and make them of a very light color, someone knows how I can do that?

Does your water based sealant only come in a gloss? I see you have a matting agent, but its designed for solvent based sealers.
The cheapest way to get a matte finish is using SuperWB and diluting it with water. You can try out different dilution ratios on sample pieces to get the perfect look for you- globmarble.com/concrete-sealer-water-based.html

Question I was drilling in to my step I think its stone but it broke it was a clean brake so I was able to set it back but I rub some tin set in the crack what should I do to make it all one color again
Very hard to color match with concrete. Most people use an overlay over the whole thing to get a consistent color
What should I use and how long does it last
Enjoyed your video, exactly what I was looking for....keep them coming!!

If I already have stone made from concrete that’s on my house is there a good way to color it?
I used a cleaner that was recommended to clean grout off the stone, which it did but it also took the color off the stone.
Is it a floor or a wall? With a floor you can spray the stain and seal it, while with a wall you can use a sponge with the stain and seal it.
love it!!!!! my favorite method was the 1st one i love how the black looks!
Thanks! Do you have suggestions for a next video you'd like to see?

Nice. I especially like the forms where you won't see a straight line when the pieces are installed.
Most of our forms are like that, only a few don't have the stepped edge
Hey bud, can we use aircrete to make these stones?

Looks good considering your molds for a outdoor fire place I'm going to build

I am an artist. I just created some amazing pieces using products of yours purchased on Amazon. I'll definitely be going direct. I would like to make my own molds, do you sell the rubber? .
Thanks for the feedback!! Unfortunately we don't sell the rubber, just the molds.

The paint I sprayed on is called a stain, made specifically for this purpose. I don't recommend any other paint. Here is the link- globmarble.com/water-based-concrete-stain-eco-stain.html

Someone knows how I can make stone with light colors? I know that white
cement should be used as a base, but to paint the different stones and
make them of a very light color, someone knows how I can do that?
I have a video explaining this in depth here- ruclips.net/video/2tGL9echDNo/видео.html
