    I just recently learned this amazing trick from someone. On any concrete forms especially a curb this works amazingly. You grab your saws-all, Remove the blade, and with some force press the saws-all table against the form and pull the trigger, it acts as an amazing vibrator to release any air pockets from the concrete.

      This is an amazing trick, when you work, let's say with a counter top or something relatively small. But when we talking production, what you saw in the video not even a quarter of what we can place and finish in one day. Just don't have time for that, especially when you have to strip to finish. This technique also could be used on the set of risers which are not getting striped.

      The safest bet for any concrete mix is four-two-one: four parts crushed rock; two parts sand; and one part cement. The four-two-one mix, obviously, has seven parts.

      @@Take_And_Make Thank you for responding. We do the same. I just don't understand what you add to concrete, that it doesn't get dusty. I'll see how you make sidewalks and curbs. There is no dust. And our concrete is quite dusty when it dries. It's a big secret to me what you add to concrete. Thanks.

    How long do you leave the forms in place before Stage 6? Everything I've read says leave them for several days, but this video shows removing them in order to finish the face.

    • @Take_And_Make
      @Take_And_Make  5 років тому +5

      It is different all the time, because concrete sets up whatever the hack it wants! So, I can't really tell the time, you have to watch it and check time to time with your fingers, checking on how easy/hard rocks are going down, if they aren't moving easy, strip one board and see, if it isn't falling you good to go. Takes a lot of practice to judge it good.

    • @Take_And_Make
      @Take_And_Make  3 роки тому

      You have to strip it while it's still somewhat fresh, so you can work with it, if your goal is to finish the face. Time depends on many factors, such as mix design, weather, curb dimensions. Anywhere between 25-60 mins after placed.
