    we used to do this as well, but more like 350 to 400 sq ft at a time,plus we brushed on the oxide pigment into the silicon mold, we still colored our cement with the oxide dyes. Our mixes had 1/4" to 3/8" aggregate size stones, as well as fiberglass fiber added. Our admixtures were duracem and polarset. Duracem simply made the mix easier to pour and work with, the polarset just made it cure quicker, like in 1/2 the time. On any given day we would produce about 8500 to 9000 sq ft a day.. But then the "Housing Bubble" collapsed, and then that was the end of that! Buddy tells me that everyone showed up for work but found the doors closed and locked, and a note that said the GM would come to explain. 35 people lost their job just like that. I was smart and left for a new job about 9 mo earlier. The others didn't handle it too well.

    Very informative, and you do a great job at explaining the process. I'm making flagstones using concrete mix and molds, and I've been wanting to add some streaks of green and reddish iron oxide to make them look more like real stones. Your video showing the "paint it in the mold" method is just what I've been looking for. Thanks!

    I mixed acrylic paints with a concrete penetrating sealer and it worked pretty well. Still had to add a clear sealer on top of it though, mainly to protect the finish a little more. It made some interesting looking countertops that are holding up pretty well so far. Epoxy makes an awesome concrete finish too, especially for countertops or floors.

    • @GlobMarble
      @GlobMarble  4 роки тому +1

      That's interesting, I never heard of this technique. Did the color come out uniform, or were there light spots and dark spots in different areas?

    • @Arkine13
      @Arkine13 4 роки тому +2

      @@GlobMarble Actually I was going for an exotic marble look. We used a fluid art technique (dirty pour/straight pour) to get the desired effect. The counters are doing well so far, they've been holding up to normal cleaning. I am concerned that the clear coat will eventually start to break down and I'll have to re-do it, but that's not unusual for concrete or stone countertops. I have hand painted cultured stone before. I've got about 30 or so molds that I use for different projects. I have not tested this mix on exterior applications though. Generally, when I'm painting stone I go for a non-uniform look to more closely mimic real stones.

    • @GlobMarble
      @GlobMarble  4 роки тому +1

      Thats cool, I could see this being used for countertops, but it would be little too time consuming for mass produced wall stones. Could you send me a picture of the countertop at Sales@globmarble.com?

    • @Arkine13
      @Arkine13 4 роки тому +1

      @@GlobMarble Yeah, I'm not sure how well it would work for mass production. Although, I don't think it would be much slower than painting the molds, it would just be after the stones had cured for a bit.
      I'll have some videos up hopefully soon. I've got some pictures though, I'll be happy to send them over. :)

    Thank you Vlad for the excellent tutorial! I cast a stone panel using the pigment painting method, but I think I picked pigments that were too different and I didn't think it looked natural, so I used a stain overtop and I think it looks better. I also tried the first method and really like that look especially after using sandpaper to scuff the edges to look more natural. I have to wait a few more days before I can apply sealant and then I will post my results. Keep making great videos!

    • @GlobMarble
      @GlobMarble  Рік тому +1

      Sounds great! The scuff marks will disappear after you seal but you can just scuff up the sealed surface again. By the way, do you mind if we post your video on some of our other social media platforms?

      The easiest way is to use a sealer. We sell acrylic sealers which are UV resistant here- globmarble.com/decorative-concretes/concrete-sealers/acrylic-sealers2/

    Whose molds to you think are the most realistic look for River stone or a stacked stone? I am wondering if you have ever poured multiple shades of concrete in the same mold to create a more variegated look?

    • @GlobMarble

      We have a mold for river stones, you can find it here- globmarble.com/river-rock-mold-rs-4001.htmlif you would like to see the coloring method you are talking about I mentioned it in this video- ua-cam.com/video/qTl2A2g1Llw/v-deo.html

    Thanks for the great video, I have a question. I always see air void on top surface no matter how long I vibrate it in the molds. Your stones didn't have any, what's your suggestions for me to prevent air void?

    • @GlobMarble
      @GlobMarble  3 роки тому +2

      Do you use premixed concrete? Most premixed concretes will always give you voids. This is why we recommend using a 1 part cement, 2 parts sand mix with some superplasticizer which is measured at a 1% of cement weight dosage. The superplasticizer makes the mix much more liquid without making it any weaker. Also for large scale productions, we recommend using a vibration table. This will greatly reduce the amount of time you need to vibrate. All of these products could be found on our website.

    What did you spray on the mold before painting on the oxide?

    • @GlobMarble
      @GlobMarble  Рік тому

      Release agent which is required to stop the concrete from sticking to the mold- globmarble.com/concrete-release-agent-g-1.html

    I relay like the first method when you give shadows with the sandpaper! But if you put the sealer on the stone will be black as before or not?

    • @GlobMarble
      @GlobMarble  3 роки тому +1

      A sealer will turn it even darker. The best way to ballpark how your concrete will look like with a sealer on it is to just wet it with water. A sealer would also remove the sandpaper antiquing effect. I should have mentioned it in the video but you don't need a sealer for the first method, none of the color will fade or rub off on your clothes or hands when you touch it like it would if you would use method 2 or 3 :)

    How can I color existing artificial stone? For example, making a sandstone colored stone into something that is dark gray?

    • @GlobMarble

      Easiest way would be to stain it :)
