Great quality, I spent many years making molds for architectural projects and used a very similar system, one thing we did slightly different when sealing edges with silicone was to spray the corners with a mild detergent and using a silicone tool it leaves no mess, so no waiting overnight to remove the tails. this was literally the most thorough video I have seen, very enjoyable to watch.
That is probably the nicest looking counter top I have ever seen. Nice work guys. Good video too, not bogged down with fluff. Thanks for both of these.
Haha. Thanks Joel! A piece made by a professional as Jim is always going to look great and is the "safe choice", but something made by yourself is always rewarding. So if you're decided to do it yourself, that's what we're here for, to help you through the process, contact our technical support team and they will be glad to assist you. support.buddyrhodes.com/add/

That is an absolutely beautiful countertop! Great job! A probably silly question: Could you not have (with a bit of treatment) used the original model that was cut for the drain board instead of going to the trouble of creating the mold? Would the resultant product not have been the same? Cheers, and great work!!
Thanks andypandy! That's a very good question. It could have been done as you say, but since the CNC cut piece is rigid, it would have been more difficult to demold, and probably be used only once. We wanted something flexible and that would allow us to use it many times. Thanks for the comment!
Hello David, for the big piece, at 4:45, when they demold the piece, you can see that the whole piece is hallow, and you can see the thickness of the borders. As for the small piece, it is cast completely, no hollow.
I am looking to pour a concrete monument base, it's a pyramid with a flat top. that a bronze statue will be affixed requiring anchor bolts to be cast in. I am wondering if it is possible to pour any of the products thicker, into a from like traditional concrete? the finish is to be polished. Does anyone have experience and maybe a link to a video for this?
I would like to know how to make an solid concrete block it should be perfect flat surface without pores. Just with concrete what should I do? Especially with Sharp edges
Yes, you could. This was cut out of a boarding tool, so it was pretty rigid and if used directly it could be a problem when demolding, damaging the casting. If it's going to be used directly, we would recommend it to be made out of foam.
All of the materials used in this project are Buddy Rhodes Materials, they are listed in the video and in the description, and you can find them in our website www.buddyrhodes.com
Hi Sandra, I'm sorry I don't have the information of the total cost, but you can find the price of every concrete product used in our website: www.buddyrhodes.com And rubber material in www.smooth-on.com
Hola Juan Manuel, como veo que habla español, le respondo en español. Supongo que se refiere al líquido que se vierte en el 1:40 y que en el 1:52 ya está sólido y se desmolda. Es una goma de uretano, se llama Task 16. Se utiliza en este proyecto porque se puede desmoldar en solo 90 minutos, y es un material que aguanta muy bien la corrosividad del concreto. Puede encontrar más información aquí: www.smooth-on.com/products/task-16/
Hi Brian, it is possible, but it's more difficult because the mix is fluid, and you would be risking to have voids that you wouldn't have if spraying. If you want a more in depth information, please ask our technical support team here: support.buddyrhodes.com/add/
Buddy Rhodes Concrete Products ok thank you,I follow your channel and I see you have a special mix that you use to do press molding.is that different from the GFRC mix? And I also visit your online store and would like to pruchase your products
Hello Peter, we don't sell the finished product, we sell the materials to make the projects: rubber, concrete, sealer... We can't advise about prices of finished products.
HI Keegan, since this was an exhibition piece we didn't make a hole for the faucet. that way we have the liberty to change the place of the faucet in the future if necessary.

I remember watching your original dvds growing up. I like the use of water reducers and fiber. Have you ever added super plasticizers to the mix?? Make it easier to pour? And fill any voids?
Hi Benjamin, that's great about the dvds! Actually the Water reducer 420 is technically a high range plasticizer or super plasticizer. We recommend 420 for spray applications, for pour applications we recommend the water reducer 555, which allows for more flow with less chance of segregation. You can see more information here: www.buddyrhodes.com/water-reducer-adva-555/
A cura do concreto deve ser gradual, caso contrário, podem ocorrer fissuras. Para evitar rachaduras, o plástico é colocado sobre o concreto em cura para reter a água em seu interior e regular sua temperatura, garantindo uma cura gradual. As mantas ajudam a evitar que o calor saia da peça, permitindo um tempo de desmoldagem mais rápido.
Thanks e g. Definitely it takes some work. We didn't calculate the actual working time, but Jim worked on this for 3 and a half days, including all the wait time, for the rubber to cure, the caulk, the concrete, glazes...
Hi Ray Carberry, Jim used different combinations of Black, White and Leather, mixed between them and diluted with water. Last coat was white a little diluted with water.
wow this was one if not the most professional concrete countertop i've seen being made so far. amazing work!
this is what I call a professional work. well done, sir. thanks for sharing.
Yes, Jim is awesome and made a great work! Thanks for the comment!

Thank you very much Designer- Garb. We're glad you enjoyed the video. And thanks a lot for sharing your tip!
Beautiful work, I love watching someone who loves their trade.
Thanks for watching Bobby
Looks fantastic, hopefully people can appreciate the work that goes into something that's hand made and can understand the cost implications
Thank you for your kind words! We hope that too, and we're glad you did appreciate it!
Obviously, you're professionals. Excellent job. You reduced the weight and your application of color is something I'll try.
Thanks StephenNu9! Let us know how it goes with the color application, if you have any questions, don't hesitate calling our technical support team.
That is probably the nicest looking counter top I have ever seen. Nice work guys. Good video too, not bogged down with fluff. Thanks for both of these.

Best concrete sink I’ve seen
Thank you very much Atif Iqbal!
Beautiful, job well done. It looks great, really like the colour finish.
Looks like quite the process, but what a end result! 👍🏼
Thanks, we're glad you liked the result!
... excellent video ... one of the best I've watched on RUclips, on any subject ...
Thanks so much Nigel! We're happy you liked it. We'll be posting more videos soon.
That’s cool as shit. Makes me realize that I definetly shouldn’t do it myself lol

Is the thick piece of the concrete hallow on some spots? I saw that you didnt add concrete to the entire mold.
Hello David, for the big piece, at 4:45, when they demold the piece, you can see that the whole piece is hallow, and you can see the thickness of the borders.

Thank you OB1 STAR!
If you are only using it once, is it possible to use the tooling board directly, rather than making a silicon mold, then a resin version?
Yes, you could. This was cut out of a boarding tool, so it was pretty rigid and if used directly it could be a problem when demolding, damaging the casting. If it's going to be used directly, we would recommend it to be made out of foam.

Thanks. I thought that, especially after I looked at the price of tooling board :) Thanks again.

Hi,
Could you recommended the material that you already used? Thank you.
All of the materials used in this project are Buddy Rhodes Materials, they are listed in the video and in the description, and you can find them in our website www.buddyrhodes.com
I liked the video...but did that really take 5 bags?
just curious what would be the cost

Do you have to spray GFRC with spray gun,or can you also mold by hand?
Hi Brian, it is possible, but it's more difficult because the mix is fluid, and you would be risking to have voids that you wouldn't have if spraying. If you want a more in depth information, please ask our technical support team here: support.buddyrhodes.com/add/
Buddy Rhodes Concrete Products ok thank you,I follow your channel and I see you have a special mix that you use to do press molding.is that different from the GFRC mix? And I also visit your online store and would like to pruchase your products
Yes it is different, the Crafstman Mix is designed specially to exhibit clay like properties, which lends itself for use with the press technique.
How does the cost to purchase something like that compare to the same in granite or other stone?
Hello Peter, we don't sell the finished product, we sell the materials to make the projects: rubber, concrete, sealer...
We can't advise about prices of finished products.
when you added the facet did you drill it after or did you make a plug for it and I just missed it?
HI Keegan, since this was an exhibition piece we didn't make a hole for the faucet. that way we have the liberty to change the place of the faucet in the future if necessary.

why not create the mold from foam using the cnc as opposed to doing all those molds to create more molds
nice piece
Thank you for watching!
Awesome 👏

Porque tapam o concreto com cobertores?
A cura do concreto deve ser gradual, caso contrário, podem ocorrer fissuras. Para evitar rachaduras, o plástico é colocado sobre o concreto em cura para reter a água em seu interior e regular sua temperatura, garantindo uma cura gradual. As mantas ajudam a evitar que o calor saia da peça, permitindo um tempo de desmoldagem mais rápido.
@@BuddyRhodesConcreteProducts Obrigada,aqui no brasil,usam colocar agua, ir molhando várias vezes ao dia pra isto não ocorrer.
That is beautiful.....but damn that is a ALOT of work..... did you all calculate how many man hours you have in those two pieces?
Thanks e g. Definitely it takes some work. We didn't calculate the actual working time, but Jim worked on this for 3 and a half days, including all the wait time, for the rubber to cure, the caulk, the concrete, glazes...

What color of glazes did you use on this project
Hi Ray Carberry, Jim used different combinations of Black, White and Leather, mixed between them and diluted with water. Last coat was white a little diluted with water.
Nice but a way more expensive than granite..

This looks cost prohibitive to pay someone due to all the steps and man hours. interesting though.
We're glad you found it interesting. Thanks for the comment.
