Carlos I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. I know you don't feel like your new videos are getting many views, but I want to let you know that I've watched every single one of your cement tutorials and I really appreciate it. I'm sure there are more people like me out there that enjoys your content a great deal. Your way of explaining things is very down to the earth and I've learned a lot more from you than any other UA-camrs out there - yes, I've seen those Indian / Southeast Asian guys that make dragons out of concrete but from a teaching perspective those are useless to me. On the contrary, I've watched your "Tips for making concrete sculptures" more than a dozen times and I still pick up and learn new things out of it. You made concrete sculpting way less intimidating for newbies like me. Keep up the good work and can't wait for your future videos! Good day to you from sunny California 🌴
I don’t know what to say, I really appreciate your comment, I know that maybe I could have a more successful channel if I only dedicated myself to one material, but I can’t help but create videos of all kinds and share them, I’m very happy to know that my videos can help, thanks again and thank you for keep coming back even if my channel is not only about cement, I will surely keep creating them. A small tip because you’re in California, the hot weather accelerate the setting and curing process of your cement mix, good luck with your projects. Great day to you too.
Hi, glue and epoxy are both great for gluing pieces together. It would depend more on where the damage is on the piece and how big the piece to be repaired is. White glue is better for repairing small pieces. Epoxy is stronger and I would recommend it for larger repairs, like the size of a brick or more. The mix I use for my repairs is cement with regular white glue.
Excellent tutorial! The arm broke off our cement cactus. years ago. I have to build up where it rests, and will put long screws to stabilize the arm when I attach it. And will use glue in my mortar!
Hello, You can use different materials a a base like foam or cardboard , my next video is about creating a concrete sculpture with cardboard , check that next week , but after creating the ears w cardboard, foam or aluminum foil, wet the concrete surface and add your cement mix, hope that help.

Wasn't it your company that ground down the head of the Ichabod Crane statue to the size of a baseball?
lol that was someone else, I only destroy my own sculptures but thanks, that's a good idea for Halloween, I could create a headless horseman.
