Nicely done. Thanks for showing your process. I learned a lot
Thanks. Hope to get a few more of this year's projects up soon.
I had my doubts at first but the finished product is really good. Great job.
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow... these turned out great. Thank you for sharing.👍
Thanks. First October that we've had rain, so it needed some extra weatherproofing and a tweak on the wings, but they held up.
How does this hold up to rainy weather? Is there a way to make it weather resistant?
So far so good. The Crommelin texture paint that I used is made for outside use and has created a very good seal. After this you could coat with another stone sealer. I found my wings started sagging at their joining point. So I reinforced with some galvanised steel that I pushed into the foam and liquid nails-ed to the gargoyle wings. Painted over with another coat of the Crommelin paint and they have lasted another two Halloweens and they will go out again this year.
Also, you could use the method of fabric and grout or cement if you really want a tougher finish. ua-cam.com/video/ixlRoMno86o/v-deo.html check out my. Jack o lantern video, that's what I used on that and was able to just paint over with a acrylic and spray paints.
