Top man, you can tell how knowledgeable you are in this field. Given me the motivation to have a go and maybe set up a side hustle selling some ornaments .
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.
I would like to see an explanatory video of the Ledgestone mold LS 2001/1 and Stone Veneer Molds VS 101/2 .. I have in mind to make an investment in those molds, I would like to see the result and installation of the stones. Thanks Globmarble! keep in that way! greetings from Argentina!
Hello. Nice work. I am fron Dominican Republic. I am trying to start with triste Kind of work. But the big problem I have know is the way to protect the Stone. Please, I would like that you recomend me a product that I can buy in amazon to protect stone against water. Thank 😊
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/
no you are not vibrating too much. chances are you need to add a plasticizer to reduce water / bubble amount - globmarble.com/concrete-additive-water-reducer-super-plasticizer.html
I like the idea of wall stones. Could be very modern and contemporary. Forgive my ignorance but how would you mount those since you didn’t imbed hardware into the wet cement?
It wouldn't be the same because the oxide pigments will clog up your spray bottle, they will settle to the bottom of your water much quicker, and you wont get the same results every time. To be safe, use the stains and oxide pigments as designed :)
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 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.
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?
@@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. :)
Thanks for the comment! I usually use a 2 parts sand to 1 part cement mix ratio. In the description of the video I have links to all tools and materials I used. The molds all have specific casting weights of each part in the website description, check it out
The paint I sprayed on is called a stain, made specifically for this purpose. I don't recommend any other paint. Here is the link- globmarble.com/water-based-concrete-stain-eco-stain.html
Using the G1 release agent allows our molds to be casted thousands of times. Any other product may work in the short term but may ruin the molds and cost you much more money in the long run
We ship world wide!! Every mold I used is in the description but you can choose from all of our molds here- globmarble.com/concrete-stones/concrete-stone/
Mold VS-501- globmarble.com/veneer-stone-mold-vs-501.html Mold MS871- globmarble.com/mosaic-stone-mold-ms-871.html All of our molds- globmarble.com/concrete-stones/concrete-stone/ Also check out the links in the description!
@@GlobMarble We try to be fancy! We need to update our "retaining" wall around the flower bed against the front of the house. The house has white trim. A white, low wall there would really level it up. Especially since the walls need some love now, pretty old. Need to add an elevated area to side of house where the a/c sits. They shorted all the pipes on the new unit and we had to raise it to reach.
Nice tutorial! I hope you are able to give me advice. I bought face split tiles, I expected to be beige/cream colour but they are more white/grey. Any idea how to colour them? Thanks
I would recommend going with one of our stain options (the method I used for the white stone). We have many stain color options; you can check them out here- globmarble.com/water-based-concrete-stain-eco-stain.html
Great work bro. I live in Zimbabwe and just ventured into this business, unfortunately we dont have all the stains and sealants available here. Would it be possible to export to Zimbabwe? And I would really like to know what you use to wash your moulds after production especially when you want to change colours?
I have been looking for the right caps for my pond wall. I watched both beginner videos and will make the molds up this weekend. I did not know about the difference between store pre-mixed and concrete and self mixed cement and sand. I will definitely self mix. Now off to watch the vibration table video.
Question I was drilling in to my step I think its stone but it broke it was a clean brake so I was able to set it back but I rub some tin set in the crack what should I do to make it all one color again
The stones in this video are for external use. Every mold on our website has a detailed mixing guide with exact quantities of cement, sand, superplasticizer and water to use with each mold. You can find our molds here- globmarble.com/concrete-stones/concrete-stone/
You could use some stones which aren't as long and place them in a circular fashion around the wall (check out our castle stones) globmarble.com/concrete-stones/concrete-stone/castle-stone-molds/ or you can physically bend the mold like seen in this video- ua-cam.com/video/5HbsmFgdz0g/v-deo.html
You can use either cement with sand, or plaster of paris. plaster of paris is for indoor stones only, you cannot use plaster stones for exterior surfaces
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!
Top man, you can tell how knowledgeable you are in this field. Given me the motivation to have a go and maybe set up a side hustle selling some ornaments .
You should! Its very straightforward and the learning curve is not steep at all :)

Vlad the lad!
I'm just amazed! The quality of your hand craft is 5 stars!! Great content! Great Ideas!!
Glad I could help!!
Interesting color options. I would think the dyes in the concrete would be a longer lasting solution. The sealer DOES make a difference.
Doing both is best. The sealer locks in and protects all the colors

no you are not vibrating too much. chances are you need to add a plasticizer to reduce water / bubble amount - globmarble.com/concrete-additive-water-reducer-super-plasticizer.html

Hi there: I saw your video, looks great.For the beginners,how to start making this product?What kind of material needed?

Roughly what is the cost difference per sq ft of making my own vs buying prefabricated
45-65 cents per square foot if you fabricate them yourself. If you buy store bought, it is roughly 10$ a square foot
I like the idea of wall stones. Could be very modern and contemporary. Forgive my ignorance but how would you mount those since you didn’t imbed hardware into the wet cement?
You would attach them to a wall with either mortar mix or with Constuction adhesive. I will publish a video about it soon :)

I"m assuming mixing your own concrete and sand is even cheaper than store bought??
Yes, it is much easier to add additives with your own mix and also creating a mix with no gravel will greatly reduce bubbles in your stones surface :)
Can you add the stain right after removing from the mold? And of course then wait at least a week to seal...?
Yup, that's what I usually do :)
I actually found that information about comments affecting the algorithm to also be interesting. Great content as well! =)
Thanks!!!
I purchased some 1 pound bags of pigment. Let's see what I can do.,
Good luck!!
Great presentation. Add a pretty girl and you’ll soar in viewership
Great idea lmaoo
What did you spray on the mold before painting on the oxide?
Release agent which is required to stop the concrete from sticking to the mold- globmarble.com/concrete-release-agent-g-1.html
