- Passing on tips I learned as I used this mold to lay a concrete stone pathway. This is part 1 which reviews the basics such has the amount of concrete per mold and how to mix the concrete among other tips.
Hay, thanks for the video. I just did a 30 ft walkway at my sister's house using the exact same mold. The only thing I can add is that it's best that the concrete be more on the "soupy" side, than too thick. It's much easier to work with, & get into the corners. Plus, it starts getting hard as soon as you mix it on a hot day! I also found that if you repeatedly tap the mold, it settles into the cracks, & makes for much smoother edges at the bottom.
Definitely more water!
Thank you for being so thorough. All the videos I've found make it look so easy and effortless. Yours is the only one that feels like it's very truthful of the good and the hard parts. I wish you would upload the other parts to the videos.
Part two is a work in progress. Apologies for the delay, life is getting in the way. I will try to have it out soon. Thanks for the feedback.
JusTinkerin hi I wanted to know all the equipment you used to make this happen. Thank you. The equipment you used on 4.36 and also 5.20. Lastly I wanted to ask I wanted to sell these path makers and everyone is selling the same thing. What other products complement this path maker and can be used with it to make it easier for the customer. I’m hoping to hear from you soon . Thank you .
What's up with part 2? How did you correct the distortion in the mold that let the concrete seep out? What a cliff hanger!
Thanks for the tips!
Great video.
And its faster to fill with large flat edge shovel and smooth tops
Im wondering if you'd be able to run a heat gun over the molds in order to flatten them out and get rid of the gap...or maybe that's what you did in the next video :) Thank you for sharing sir
If you can catch a nice hot sunny day, set them out on a nice level concrete slab and weight down all 4 corners with cinderblock. Good as new.
Is there a part 2 still?
My question is, once the concrete sets are you able to pick up each individual concrete mold. For instance if I use the walkmaker to make a patio, will all the edges just randomly lift up, or does it stick to the ground. What if I put weed barrier is that a bad idea?
I saw on the other video that shows you can actually do it. Piece by piece separately.

FYI usually it's better to buy two molds so while you are filling up the second one in the first the cement is settling for two minutes and then you can just lift it up after that. This is not the best video if yo want to know the right way to do it, sorry. Usually people prepare and level the ground before starting to use the molds and here the guy is doing it at the same time (bad idea zero efficiency). cement is too thick and it's better to use Quikrete not the regular one. You just have to wait two minutes before lifting the mold. He says here that it took 5 minutes to make a stepping stone that is crazy bad.
About a gallon per bag and u can immediately remove mold once Cement is filled in with th I mix ratio!
