You're very welcome! I'm glad you liked it✨♥️

I paint my stones, so I don't do much experimenting with alternative processes. However, I do know you can, but there's ratios of colorant to cement, that need to be adhered to in order to not compromise the integrity of the cement. I think it's somewhere in the limits of 10% colorant to 90% range, and probably need to adjust the water, too. I'm sorry I'm not able to give you a definitive answer, but I don't want to steer you wrong. Reach out to the customer service for the cement product you use, for best advice. Thank you for watching and good luck! ✨

​@@ArtbyRMalloyThanks so much.

Thank you! ✨

Hi Judy, I give 2 coats of Rustoleum 2X Ultra Cover spray sealer. They have Semi-Gloss Clear, Matte or Gloss finish. Depending on the type of paint I use, Chalk - Semi-Gloss or Matte, or Gloss for a high shine. I personally prefer the Matte or Semi-Gloss… my husband wants everything Glossy. You can also use a thin coat of epoxy resin. Follow the directions for your product, they are not all the same. I have tested UV resin, however I suggest you test it yourself. UV resin is quick setting once exposed to UV lamp or Sunlight, so getting a good even coating, without drips can be tricky. It’s okay for flat surfaces, but I much prefer the Rustoleum.

You're welcome! ✨

Hi Becky, I thought I saw another comment from you, asking about drying time, but I don't see it now!?! I answered anyway 😅 see below for some tips 🙂 I think you'll find this very easy to use and the results are great. I used UltraCal at first, and yeah, $$ and it was hard to find locally. As for drying/painting time, it depends on the humidity and your environment. I make my stones way ahead, but I'd say at least 3 days. It'll turn very light in color. I recommend putting it on a paper towel. Check the paper towel for dampness and take note of the weight. Wet will be heavier than when it's dry. About 3-4 days, give or take. I hope this helps!! 💕✨

Yay!! Thank you, thank you!! 🥰 Gather up your goodies and have fun making your special gifts 🎁 💕✨

Hi teegee! It depends, if you're in a dry zone, the water will evaporate quicker and your stones will be ready in a couple of days. I usually remove mine from the mold within an hour or two after pouring. They're quite dark, a lot of water is still inside, but you'll quickly see them lightening up. I find they dry and cure quicker because the mold holds the moisture in. Within a few hours, you'll see them getting lighter in color as they dry. You can place them near a dehumidifier, a sunny window or outside if you're climate allows. But, give them at least a couple of days. Tip: Place them on a paper towel and note the dampness. When the paper towel is dry, you'll know there's little to no moisture left, and you should be good to go. When in doubt, don't. I always make several ahead, so they're well dried by the time I'm ready to use them. I'm happy you're excited to get started, so while waiting, you can practice on an old dinner plate, or the white plastic ones from Dollar tree, or a piece of tile! Thank you for watching and welcome to my channel!! ❤️✨

@@ArtbyRMalloy Thank you for responding! I have only 3 molds right now & I followed your process yesterday & all 3 came out perfect so I did another 3 today after work & they came out perfect too, so happy! I have been practicing a bit here & there & loving it, wish I had found this craft long ago, thanks again & I do enjoy your channel & especially your artwork... 🥰

NICE!! I have several different molds, but I gravitate towards 2, sometimes a third. I still have the other stones made, but I have to replace the two I use most. My best advice to a you and all newcomers is Don't spend a lot of money on all sorts of tools and molds right off the bat. Seriously, I have so many sets of tools ($$), but I use the same few. Some of my favorites are from the Dollar Tree! 😃 I didn't start dotting until shortly before I retired, just before COVID. You have a head start! 😉 Most importantly, enjoy and don't stress. It's all about what makes you happy. ❤️

... and thank you for the lovely compliment! 🥰✨

Hi Cheryl, I have 3 tutorials that demonstrate the TORUS. 🙂 Please see any of these tutorials: NEW, Gold TORUS!!... ua-cam.com/video/BTVQErJI5Jk/v-deo.html Help is Here... ua-cam.com/video/AAuAFqrTTfE/v-deo.html Get Ready for Something New!... ua-cam.com/video/2s25pKFal5U/v-deo.html I hope you find one of these helpful. Thank you for watching.

@@ArtbyRMalloy THANK YOU SWEETIE. HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Yes, they're concrete and very durable!! I always mix the correct proportions, extra water could make them weak. I dropped one that bounced off of an iron park bench, rolled down a rocky path to an ocean jetty, where it settled between some large boulders! 😃 Not a speck of damage. I'm glad you found and like the video ❤️

Hi Darlene! You're welcome! ✨ I love the metallics and specialty paints too! But those strings can really test one's patience! 😅

@@ArtbyRMalloy for sure. 😂. Have you painted on other things besides rocks?

Yes, glass, canvas, LP's... lots of things 😊

@@ArtbyRMalloy How fun! I have a box of LP’s I got from a garage sale waiting for me to paint, but haven’t attempted one yet. I’m not sure why, but I feel a little nervous about trying to paint on them. Lol
