A step-by-step detailed explanation of how to make a silicone stamp that you can use for years to come for under 9 dollars! #concretestamp. #verticalconcrete #makeastamp #cementstamp #stampingwetconcrere
This is used mainly for vertical concrete. The intention is for the surface to imitate stone. After stamping with this mat you add veining and even remove some of the material to imitate a cliff side or a stone outcropping. Not aiming to float anything just to create a realistic looking stone surface that can be processed even further to look like natural stone.
It is a thick fluffy scrubbing cloth. Anything will work that is thick enough and will accept the silicone. Some fabrics repel silicone. You can always coat the other side to make the mold thicker. Make sure to watch the full video the process is explained better in the larger format.
And after its been used and its picked up residual cement mix how do the next and subsequent batches look . Being you cannot effectively clean it for next use ???
Rick it isn’t like that at all. The cement doesn’t stick to the silicone. The stamp remains always clean. Look at my cement mix that I’m stamping it is quite dry. You have to know how to get your cement mix perfect for stamping.
I like to use bathroom / kitchen silicone tends to be of better quality. Read the label carefully some silicone have the same issue as honey they are filled with a lesser quality filler to increase profits. Transparent silicone tend to also be better simply because it is harder to hide fillers. Spend a bit more on a tube you will probably get real silicone at about $ 8 dollar!
Patrick, the idea is to use the stamp to create textures on vertical concrete. Stamps and rollers are the fast and most realistic way to create textures on wet concrete!
Super Useful! Thanks!
This is genius.
Wasn't what what i was looking for, but really cool methods and idea!
Tell me what you need and I will have the answer!

Thank you so much. I can afford this!
Awesome, clever
Fantastic
We also show how to make texture rollers on our channel. The textured stamping pads are easier to make. The last for two years.
What type of fabric is used?

The moulds can be washed with a garden hose if your mix was wet and sticky
You can add specific stone like intentionally shapes like ⭐ 📐 🔅 💡 🐾 an more awesome work
Interesting! One could make a roller out of glass shards! Or even tempered glass pieces to create a honeycomb look!
BEAUTIFUL! Can you do my entire driveway! 😅
I would glue the mat to a tube and make a roller out of it! That would allow the texturing of large surfaces.

Banwana hai
Looks like a poorly floated concrete pour, I can do that without the stamp
