Xtreme Gamez Hi! As a DIYer, I switch between two mixture ratios. 1:1 (cement:sand) gives you less curing time and a smoother surface. 1:2 (cement:sand) is also fine if you want to save on cement.
@@DIYKalinga would you say about 1kg of cement and 1kg of sand??? I am trying to work out the cost of doing a whole area. I don't want to start and find out it is costing the earth.
Great video!!! How much time passed between putting on the plastic bad and taking it off?
Hi! At least 14 hours. But not more than 24 hours.
What kind of wire did you use? Did you just get it from Lowe’s, Walmart, or Home Depot?
Steel wire. Yup, you can get it from any hardware store. You can also use drywall fiberglass tape or chicken wire mesh.
Thank you for your timely response
What kind of mix do you use? Can you buy a mix that is already part cement and sand?
1 part cement, 1 part sand is okay. Yes, you can buy and use a ready-to-use mix.
What is the right mixture of concrete?thank you

Would chicken wire be ok to use to strengthen the stone?
Morgan Lindroos Hi! Yes. 🙂
Hi, what sort of sticks do you put in the middle?
Hi! Those are not sticks. They're wires. :)
How much cement mix did you use per mold?
I use a standard size mug to measure my mix, which is about 6 parts cement, 6 parts sand.

how long do you have to dry it before yo remove from the mold?
After about 14 hours. Then I put it back inside the plastic bag for it to completely dry.
