    I was taught how to make textures using silicone forms made off of natural rocks as transfer templets we could press into the wet formed rocks we were contracted to make. When done they looked so realistic that you would never think they were hand made. My teacher was the son of the man that did Disney's Matterhorn in Anaheim CA.

      Well, thanks for that feedback I really appreciate you watching my videos and I do a lot of molded rock features unfortunately, cardboard videos perform so much better than my molten rock videos, but check out my channel.

    What a great idea! I live in the first house on a cul-de-sac, and the edge of our driveway is constantly driven over by big trucks which caused that corner to cave in. We recently have had the driveway repaved and have been looking at large rocks to put next to the corner to keep vehicles from driving over the edge. Rocks can cost a few hundred dollars, so your idea will be perfect for what we need. Thanks for sharing.

      Yes another route to the same end. I have a Gentefied 12 different methods for creating rock the one you utilized a call, solid fill or usually I take a little bit of rubble a little bit of mud, a little bit of rubble and layer it and then coded at the end. Thanks for Sharon.

    A trick I used on a cave I made that gave a really nice natural texture, was when it was about 1/2 to 3/4 cured, I brushed it vigorously with a wet chip brush. That smoothed out the finish like weathering but kept the lumpy.

      I’m like you… I like the more fractured and chiseled rocks like you described, and I did both for the sake of that original full length video, where in I made a round and a more angular Rock, but as you said, the techniques are pretty much the same. Thanks for watching.

      No… the mud was already dried when I chiseled it and there was no more smoothing it out but that’s the characteristic you want is a chisel broken look to emulate a fracturing…

    Back in the day 1970’s when people wanted a “rock shelf” to hide the pool pump. We would build a frame to hold and access the pool pump. We then used whatever was about to make a base for the rock. Cover it with bird wire then, make a concrete mix adding various sized polystyrene pellets in the concrete. Sculpt the rock shape and powdering the surface with a coloured oxide. Let it cure for 7 days . Come back and pour petrol over the rock. All the exposed polystyrene would dissolve and there you are ….. a rock!

      You could also use rock salt pressed into the outside of the rock after you finish sculpting it. Then you can wash it with water; a LOT safer than using petrol!!

    Looks great from the outside. Looks like a rock and a nice addition to the lawn area or the front of a property.
    However, shouldn't the bottom be sealed as well? Because eventually, water and humidity will get there and rot the cardboard which is basically paper. With all the work done up top, the bottom sealing should be easier so that its sealed from all sides and perhaps, last much longer.

      Been making rocks for 48 years now like this and we usually take the cardboard out but even if we didn’t, it serves no more purpose and it could rot fall out do whatever it wants. It’s not gonna hurt the rock. . Many people always have a lot to say about furthering the process but I would’ve done that if it was required, An old boy once told me “They only pay to do it once” I took that to heart and never forget it.
