You have made a real science of this and it is tremendously impressive. Honestly, nobody would guess unless you told them the boulders were faux. Incredible to watch.
Well, thanks for your kind feedback… I really appreciate the time you took him watching my video.
When you were doing the splattering, I kept thinking I hope the truck is further away than it looks.
It seems that a lot of people share your thoughts on the truck… lol. Thanks for watching my video
I’m blown away by your vision in making that rock wall, it truly looks amazing, the moss growth look is priceless
Thanks for your positive feedback and I really appreciate you watch my videos. We like the moss as well.👍
I am going to watch everyone of your videos/ I like you, good camera presence and you are a great teacher. A natural.
Give me a call anytime 971-237-2957.
Where do u get the Styrofoam beads ?
You just have to do some research , as it’s getting harder to find these days because most people who generate waste are densifying it, and selling it to manufactures who then make new polystyrene products.
Man, you are just such a cool guy, loving these videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You’re welcome… I appreciate you watching my videos
You are a great teacher. Simple instructions I been looking for.
Thank you so much!
Well, thank you very much for your kind words. I really appreciate the opportunity to serve.
Thanks for taking the time to watch my video. I appreciate it.
You are sharing trades secrets here. Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge and for making sure that the people that you inspire, can continue your legacy, even can make a career o make a living or simply have fun and make prettier their garden. You are a legend
I appreciate your kind feedback, but I’m not too sure about being a legend or anything… I just enjoy making artificial rock and I’ve taught over 12,000 people in the art of synthetic rock construction since 1996.
Thanks for watching my video
Oh my goodness, This is my new favourite utube channel. So informative and to the point. I feel I can tackle my project now. I’m going to binge watch these videos. Thank you so much for making them.
It’s always so awesome to receive positive feedback. I really appreciate you taking your time to watch my video.
I'm an artist and I use cardboard a lot. I really appreciate your work. Thanks for sharing!
Cardboard is so useful… I use it for so many things.
Thanks for the positive feedback… I really appreciate you watching my videos
We call that technique’ stippling’ , where you dab your brush, crumpled paper, etc and blot the surface to create texture. As a professional restorer - conservator of antique furniture I always have to cosmetically colour all new repairs usually with powder earth pigment and / or artist quality acrylic paints . I have found the best results in disguising new patches etc is often to stipple the pigment with medium if necessary as you can build up layers of differing shades and depth of colour without any brush strokes to draw the eye .
Yes, we do stippling or Dobbing techniques for texturing, but just to be clear, the video that you commented on is a technique, where in we splatter because you’re dipping your brush into wet cement, then flicking it, or splattering it onto the surface to create texture, which is a little different than the stippling technique that you’ve mentioned
What a great lesson for me. This is the solution I've been looking for. I HAD NO IDEA! Thank you sir.
Too cool… Thanks for the positive feedback and I appreciate you watching my video
You are the Master with truth pure heart . Thank you for your lesson to everyone .

Great 👍 job pops man I cannot stop watching. I just bought a house out here in AZ and I do painting and drywall textures etc. Oh almost forgot and now I make rocks/boulders now thanks to you my man. I want to do some culture stone to the exterior of my house, I currently have sand finish. So my question is what the easiest and cheapest way to accomplish that Pop’s?

Darn. I'll have to go back and watch part 1. Thanks. Can't wait.
I'm wondering if anyone else cringed when you didn't move your truck before slinging slop on your rock😨
Thanks for the positive feedback… Yes many have commented on the close proximity of the truck to the splattering. I can assure you it was nowhere near the splatter range.👍👌👍
you rock!!!! these things are beautiful!
Thanks… for your positive feedback. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch my video.

What is the acrylic glue you're using? Do you have a brand you can list and where you get it? Also, how do you add the look of faux moss. I recently visited universal studios Orlando and was fascinated with the details of the faux rocks and faux moss that was applied to the areas within the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks 👍
There are many different manufacturers for glue, but you need to locate a glue that’s 100% acrylic carried in a water-based carrier. Acrylic 60 is a readily available glue but there are many others.
As far as foam us I either synthesize it or I culture it on the rock, but neither of those or something I can simply text in a common area on UA-cam.
Thanks for watching my videos
Watch out for that truck!
I’ve had a lot of people concerned about my truck turns out it’s OK
Love this! Is your 15 day class still on sale? how do i get the dvd's and are you doing any in person training anymore? I am in florida but you might be worth the trip lol. Thanks
Yes I will email you the info. Thanks
are you able to sit stand on rocks made about this thick? would be neat to make some natural stone style seating this way.
Yes rocks made this fashion are able to take a lot of weight.
The messier it gets the more fun! Don't splatter your truck!
👍thanks for watching my videos
Hi Jim, I just trying to source some of the items needed to make some rock, the additive you use, is it "Liquid Acrylic Polymer" or is PVA the same? Thanks.
You were looking for an acrylic polymer ad mixture, which is 100% acrylic. PVA(Polly vinyl alcohol) is not an ad mixture I would recommend you use, nor would I recommend a latex mixture or an acrylic latex ad mixture you are truly looking for 100% acrylic mixture.
Thank you for the videos, awesome. How much weight will the cardboard box rocks hold? I want to make larger stepping stones. thx
I’ve built a lot of these type rock and walking on them is no problem.
@@fauxrock Would additional bracing be required? Thank you!
No additional bracing neefed
I've been looking for a large natutal rock with a very shallow indented pool to make a hummingbird bath.
Silly me just make a rock...and I won't have to kill myself drilling the hole for the bubbler/sprayer pump tubing.
I love it... It was right in front of you the whole time... Thanks for watching my videos
@@fauxrock No, Thank You.
I think trash bag size faux rock using a shallow serving platter to "stamp" in the depth will work. Should fit above a 40 gal oval or round buried watering trough with upright ganged 1 in pvc pipe supports with cattle panel & tighter wire mesh across the top to hold smaller rocks.
Getting the shallow depth in a natural rock was the major hang up...and the drilling for a hole for the fountain pump pipe/tubing and the drain holes back to the trough/water reservoir. I can just mold the holes using doll rods and fine tune with round files.
That real a cool idea...👍
what kind of paint do you use to get the various colors?
I generally use 100% acrylic paints that are highly diluted with water to make a penetrating stain. Keep in mind there are about 13 different ways to make stain to color rock the acrylic it’s just one
i've watched all 4 parts of this series. i simply wanted to makes a few larger "rocks" for my yard. but it always come back to one step. the "Acrylic glue" that has been diluted. pause rewind. Are you meaning a acrylic polymer admixture? bc acrylic glue is somehing totally different. and what are you diluting it with? And what is the ratio please.
Yes, I utilize 100% acrylic glue, which we use as an ad mixture and also as a bonding agent. we dilute this in water as the acrylic ad mixture is waterborne. how much one would dilute glue would depend on the manufacturer who made it as there are different concentrated levels of acrylic solids that are carried or diluted in water Thanks for watching my video.
Where do you get the "skins" please? Is it just chamois cloth? How is it textured?
I make my own rubber skins but I’m sure there’s companies out on the Internet it’s on
Hi apologies if this is a silly question but for the 2:1 splatter mix, do you mean it’s 2 parts glue and 1 part water or 2 parts water and 1 part glue for the liquid?? :)
One part cement, two parts sans mixed with a diluted glue. The dilution of the glue depends on which manufacturer glue. you’ve purchased.
When you refer to ‘ acrylic glue ‘ is thus the same as PVA ?
Looks awesome. I was wondering, what king of mesh are you using? It doesn't seem to be metallic
Thanks for the positive feedback… I’ve placed the link for the mesh below
@@fauxrock
👍😄👍
great video! What kind of Acrylic glue are you using in this video?
I use FORTON VF 774 acrylic admixture
Can I use a different glue? 5 gallon bucket of the FORTON VF 774 admixture is too much product for my needs.
Yes try looking up acrylic 60 it’s about $28 a gallon you can still dilute it two parts of water to one part blue
How strong would a boulder be? Could you stand or jump on it? How much would a faux 3 foot round boulder weigh?
Yes, all of the boulders that I make are strong enough to jump up and down on… the square foot of surface area of this technique generally weighs in about 3 pounds per square foot. Once you figure out your surface area just multiplied by 3 pounds and I’ll tell you I’ll have your Rock is going to be.
Whats the glue?
Im in Australia and just looked up "cement" from my local 'Bunnings"
(Our version of Lowes) and theres 50 types!
So, All i need is 2 to 1 and a glue yea?
'bondcrete'? Or plastisizer?
I want a waterfall and it be fish safe..
Man, id appreciate if you could narrow it down for me..
I watched a few of your videos, especially the one about additives etc..
Its so overwhelming..
Ive got a ton of styrofoam and cardboard and eager to get cracking on it.
Appreciate you sharing your knowledge mate
👊🇦🇺
The glue that I suggest using is 100% acrylic and it’s carried or modified in water.
What mesh do you use?
48" x 150' Non-Adhesive Stucco Mesh www.lowes.com/pd/BOEN-48-in-x-150-ft-Non-Adhesive-Stucco-Mesh/1001764418
Hi, great video. I wonder what kind of skin it is when you were demonstrating the stamping technique?
It’s a urethane rubber skin.
Reynolds wrap 2.0 hahahaha you can find the rubber stamping molds on Amazon or a multitude of other websites online. If you have a good masonry store near you they may carry them also.
Yes you’re correct, but in a pinch tin foil is capable of producing very similar effects to real rock rubber skins
@@fauxrock yeah haha, also newspaper crumpled up also gives and awsome texture. You can crumble it into a ball and dab it. Awsome video by the way.
Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate you watching my videos....
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I'm building a upper and lower pond with a stream in my back yard. Upper pond is actually going to be a wetland filter, bottom pond will be about 3-4 ft deep at its deepest spot, probably 15 ft long and 10 ft wide. Stream is about 3-4 wide, about 35 feet of run. I had a guy who who has been doing water features for years stop by and quoted me $30,000 to do the project! One thing he said, I would need some special equipment to put larger rocks in place. A bunch of small rocks would not look natural. Hence my visit to your page. If I can create artificial rocks much lighter I can get them into place without mechanical equipment. On average, would you say the rocks here in your video are under 75 pounds? I don't plan to immerse them in the pond, but place some along the sides of the pond and stream. Interested to hear about anyone using hand made rocks in stream and pond projects.
I’m wondering why is it that we need to have lightweight rocks to build a feature that stays put. Obviously some of the rocks that we build on the water feature are removable so that we can get to equipment and they need to be lightweight but the restaurant doesn’t. We built very big rocks in place that are moved in they don’t need to be lightweight
@@fauxrock Just need larger lightweight rocks so I can place them by hand vice using some sort of mechanical equipment., hoists, lifts etc. which costs $.
That’s precisely why we build them in place so we don’t have to build them away from where they’re going to sit and then put them where they’re going to sit later. 99% of all the rock that I build his building place by adding a little cement adding a little cement until you get to the pool shape and size
@@fauxrock OK. I see. You moved a couple in your video on a wheel barrrow, hence my question. I'd just need to coordinate the weather with the building process in place.
what kind of mesh ? whats it made from
It is a stucco mesh. I believe it’s made with poly propylene
So much work for a rock. Why the texture? so that plants can grow on it?
We’re texturing the rock to mimic a granite texture. When creating a rock with this process the mortar when you’re finished applying it doesn’t look like texture just has a bulk shape.
Thanks for watching my videos
what are the skins made of and where do i get them?
The rock skins are made from a urethane rubber. Just Google it… there are many suppliers online
What is the mesh made of?
That I used in the video was poly pro plane but there are a lot of different types of mesh out there that you can purchase
this is so cool
Yes these types of rock can hold a ton of weight. Thanks for the positive feedback and I really appreciate you taking the time to watch my video
LANDSCAPIN!!!
Yes indeed. Thanks for watching.
@@fauxrock you have good eye sir thankyou.
Thank you very much sir. You have a merry Christmas and a happy new year as well.
At the 10:43 time stamp, is that a pair of real anvils stacked up in the back ground on top of several buckets?
Those are just cardboard form that I make…
Watch the video below where I make an anvil

Could you use quickrete
Yes you could
what is the mixture for acrylic glue?
The dilution rate of an acrylic add mixture depends on the concentration of the product that you purchased not all acrylic admixtures or as concentrated as others. You can read the label to see the dilution rate. The acrylic glue that we utilize allows us to mix six parts of water to one part of the glue or any range there in between
I was wondering how I would make moon craters for my NASA figure, Now I know how to ;-)
Too cool… it’s always amazing to me the increased applications for making cement work.

Where does the plastic mesh come from.
It’s manufactured by a company called STO…
You can find some mesh this like it at Lowe’s or Home Depot
When I searched for it on Amazon under pool deck brush I could not find it but I did find it on Amazon under Masonry Brush Stucco Dash Plastic Bristles
Thanks for the feedback… I appreciate you watching my videos
I may have missed it, but what is the mesh? Fiberglass?
It depends on the manufacturer that you purchase your mesh from.
@@fauxrock Can you tell me what type of mesh you are using in these videos?
I’m not sure of the type on material used to manufacture the mesh, but I know it’s made by a company called Stow
Where do you buy your mesh? If I go to Lowes is it near cement section? Thanks much.

How much you spent to make this rock? tx
I would estimate about $15
