Very thing I’ve been looking for, for making 3D aquarium backgrounds . Nice one 👍
Thanks for the positive feedback... I appreciate you watching my videos and yes There are a ton of applications that you can utilize the rock panels. 👍
Not gonna be that easy, I gave up
😞
Espetacular,gênio.🇧🇷
Thanks…👌
ROCK STARS
Thanks for watching...
What kind of release agent have you been using? I am afraid the Mold Release might soften the acrylic sealer making the rubber bond to the model...any suggestions? Thank you
I use universal mold release… i’ve never had a problem with the release agent emulsifying the acrylic sealer, which you say, would create a bond between the acrylic sealer, and the rubber.
hello, what fibre glass resin is being used hear? I want to ensure I'm buying the correct fiberglass product to produce this. also I'm guessing it doesn't matter what acrylic sealer & mold release you use? But if you can recommend what products you use ill look into getting the same ones.
Many thanks in advance.
Usually you find this fiberglass Mud mixture at auto supply stores in 1 gallon cans. It’s called long, strand fiber mixture.
@@fauxrock perfect! Thankyou for your help, much appreciated.
👍
What kind of silicone rubber did you use?
The rubber I used in this video was a brush on urethane from Smooth On
Ok i have a crazy question can i make my 1978 Vandura Midas motorhome into a moveing cave that i can live in i know crazy right but i would live it and i have to guttout the whole thing because of water damage. I love rocks and would live it if you have any ideas for me?
It funny that you've asked a question about rocking a motor home as it is something that I've wanted to do for years. The answer is yes... it can be accomplished using lightweight cement composite castings.
You can make a UA-cam about it and i could fallow you lol. I don't know the first thing . But want to know
@@fauxrock Thank you.
Great work! How long does it take d
For the rubber, and the fiberglass mold to dry respectively? Also, the fiberglass you are pouring, is just the liquid without any glass fiber sheet?
Both dry within hours. The fiberglass mixture had long strand fiber already in the mix, so no need for the mesh
@@fauxrock ah I see, so I can prepare a mixture of polyester plus fiber already in the mix so I don't have to use sheets of fiber.
👌 that is correct
@@fauxrock thank you for the info and the quick responses! Take care!
👍
Hy!
What makes rubber so liquid?
it's very sticky for me and I can't apply it that easily.
I need some kind of dilution mixture?
I didn't use Superseal, maybe that's why I can't apply it in such a thin, liquid layer?
Thank you very much in advance for the answers!
Have a nice a day!
I’m not sure what rubber you’re using, but I use the Smooth On brush on series.
Thank you for your answer!
I tried to brush on 40.
But I'm not giving up, I'm trying.
I have one last question. You use about 1 gallon of brush on for the mold in this video.
Approx. 1 gal=2 meter x 1.5 meter mold?
You can know a ratio, how many molds come out of 1 gallon?
Thank you for your help!
I don’t remember how much rubber I used to make the mold, as it was back in 2008.
I know the molds I made today… 1 gal of rubber coved 8 sqft of rock.
Going back to your your rubber not working for you… You need to brush on your rubber layer at only 1/4 inch or 6mm thickness. That will work be best for you.
@@fauxrock I'll take your advice! Thank you very much for your help!
👍
Dang pops you look young
Dang baby face you’re looking older...
U want to sell
Yes I sell molds… give me a call to discuss.

No rocks were harmed in the making of this video.
That is the truth... Thanks for watching!
Ever heard of Leave No Trace?
If you’re referring to the clean up of the site... I can assure you that nothing was left behind. We totally cleaned up the site.
I’m sure all the sealer and mound realest just evaporated I especially respectThe way he just rinse is the entire thing off in the water . you could’ve just made those rocks out of Styrofoam covered in cement inside of your garage and carved the Took molds of the styrofoam rock and you would’ve had just as real of a mold as anything that came from the wild it with less effort and more creativity.
“To each his own” You are free to put up videos to demonstrate your techniques...

How do you do this without the greenies having heart attacks or getting caught? I have some great areas in st louis with rock faces like this but busy body Karen's would call the cops or email on me. I've always wanted to cast some rock face.
Yes getting approval is next to impossible because of the release agents and the rubbers toxicities to environment. Fortunately for me the most of the molds I took were years ago when this wasn’t such a big deal. I have over 75 different rock molds that I took from out in nature without any big deal. In fact the video I shot this panel on was in 2009 and I did have approval to do it but I still had the Financial risk of being fined for environmental contamination even though I had obtained legitimate permits
This is a late reply but you can try to go to one of the rockyards in town where they sell landscape boulder. Talk to the owner or offer to pay a small fee to go over there during a weekend when they are closed and make a mold from one of their many boulders.
Keep in mind that in order to make a mold off a rock, you have to seal it and then release it with the oil to be able to extract the mold. In the landscaping yard route the rock with no longer be something the landscaping supply place could sell because it was not a natural look anymore so I don’t think that routes going to pan out other than if you bought the rock and took it home.

Sorry that you didn’t like my video…. Your mother loved it!😊
@@fauxrock I like the video 📹 🤣👍
