Thank you. Your recipes are easy to follow. I like how you compare the mixture to food consistency. I began cooking at age 8. 😆 pancake and cookie dough are familiar as I have a big family. I love watching your creativity at work. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. I will be recreating a lot of your work for my yard. Hypertufa looks interesting and fun. 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 😊
Brilliant! A great explanation of the process. I’m thinking about creating a Japanese style rock garden. Is there a way to make rocks that are very light in color such as white, very light gray or ivory colored? And also rocks that are blackish. What can I add to the mixture to give them some random speckles and textural variation to the natural look of the surface? Cheers, sincerely Ray from Seattle.😊
@@raynichol8959 Well thank you so much for your kind words😁 As far as fillers for color there are cement pigments you can order or you also just play around with the color of the agate and dirt you use with the portland cement. Also there is white portland cement though I've never used it because I can't find it here. Have fun with your garden😁👍
I know that this isn’t related to hypertufa per say, but I was wondering if you have ever tried food grade Diatomaceous earth as an admixture to Portland cement. Like do you think that creating a non slumping slurry of the DE and cement? Do you know if I would be able to mix that in at a similar ratio as your admixtures here? So 4:1 (de:Cement) whilst adding water only as necessary as you’ve done here? I hope that doesn’t sound like Greek lol. I’m sorry if it’s too many questions at once. I am researching, and I happened upon your channel. You seem so knowledgeable when it comes to crafting with concrete.
Hello Tina, I have never heard of using DE as an additive to portland cement. I have no idea how it would react or what chemical reaction could take place. I'm sorry I have no answer for this question. I will do some research. Thank you for viewing 😁
Hello Thank you for viewing. There are a couple of reasons that I know of. To slow the curing so it will be stronger and if you are creating pots it leaches out the alkaline that is in the cement and that is not good for plants. Will you be creating some hypertufa?

Lol every time I wear my nice clothing, I am obviously tempting fate, because whatever staining elements will find there way onto the fabric 😬😂
Too funny I call it the 1.25 store too 😂
I can’t find the lettering stamps…
Why do you put it in a bucket of water
