Good video. Myself I use a soldering iron with a square end along the ruler to melt rectangular grooves without the raised edges. Then use an acrylic spray paint which MELTS AND AGES IT an awesome brick look while it base coats the styrofoam and paints it at the same time! Using a soldering iron is as quick as a hot knife through butter and allows any rock face you can draw.
A different less dusty way is to use an acid brush to paint the grout lines with some acetone. It will eat right into the foam. More fumes less dust.
Your wall turned out so BEAUTIFUL
EXCELLENT
VERY COOL !!! Great looking brick. Gave me some ideas for a castle project. Thanks for the excellent tutorial.

Frederick Ippolito Thanks Fred! Glad the video helped you out! :)
ur so cute sinin ur name like a letter !
This was the best and least expensive option for this technique I have seen on youtube. Very talented. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Out of all of the "tutorials" online this was by far the best! Painting looked 2d and flat and a lot of other methods are really complicated. Thank you for sharing this. You are super easy to understand and this actually looks achievable! ;)
Thanks Kelly! I appreciate that :)
the look is more realistic than most.....and the idea of using the R Tech is added insulation to the wall. Definitely going to try this Thank you
Those look great. I love the colors you used. Thank you for posting this on the HH FB page. I subscribed too!
Thank you!
Wow man! You're really so much close to the real brick! Fantastic! Thank you for the idea!
Awesome tutorial! I can't wait to try it myself. You did a great job!
You did such a great job!! Totally Amazing!! Thank you so much Mr. Artist.
This is a great DIY tutorial. I will be making myself a faux fireplace and these bricks will be the star attraction. Thank you for such a wonderful and insightful tutorial.
You're very welcome! Let me know how it turns out when you're finished! Would love to see it! :)
Gotta be honest, when you started with the orange paint, I was thinking "Why...." and it turned out looking GREAT! Nice job!
Talented guy and of many videos I wanted yours was the least labour intensive with great results. Thank you! You are also a very fortunate guy to have a wonderful helpful and cheerful Aunt. I bet it's a breeze being around her - especially at holidays! :))
Thank you Andy, I really appreciate that!
"What's happenin brah?" 😂
cool tutorial!
I love how the dremel tool makes the edge a bit wonky like real bricks.
the best I see so far, super easy for a city apartment wall. thanks!
You're welcome! Glad I could help!
Very nice job, thanks for the tips.Keep up with a good work
Thanks,Luis
Thanks!
this is so cool,great job.Makes me wanna try this.
This guy is so talented. Great job!
That is really awesome! It's great for a talk show set.
It looks nice and has some R value to regular latex may not stay on for ever one trick to ruff up the surface could be to leave the foam in the sun for a while, or buy paint that is made for plastic, Thanks for the video
This is amazing. What about varnish or matt clear coat to give it strength?
Pretty cool man. Would make an great addition to a haunt even more so if it gives the look of falling apart from years of weathering.
Thanks man! Yeah, that was the exact idea we were going for.
nicely done...no frills to the work involved. # love it!
Thanks!
THAT IA GORGEOUS! LOVE IT, THANK YOU!
This really really surprised me . You are so talented
Thank you very much for this creative idea. Im going to do this this weekend!
Great job! Even though it's insulated, might not work well near a fireplace or an oven/stove! Brick could melt! Would have liked to see an inside corner done like this! Thank you!
Hi Aunt Brenda and Uncle Brian 🤣
I no this is an old video but im just seeing it and this is totally amazing you did a fantastic job!!!
Those turned out really nice!
Thanks Troy!
Great job mate! i really like that big wall at the end of the video. Tomorrow, im making one for myself, i hope its gonna look good just as yours.
Thanks and good luck! I hope they turn out great!
Awesome diy! Can't wait to try it. Thanks :)
That's cool! Big job! But it is dangerous, a brick quickly burn and can cause fire.
Awesome 👍
It looks like the real one
how durable are the walls? I'm considering something for an escaperoom, but guests can be quick to destroy a nice artsy wall... We have a room with wallpaper we already have to redo every few months... Or would a nice coating of something stiffen op the texture of foam) or is the heat gun doing enough?)
I don't mind redoing a wall every now and again, but you know... Preferably not every week 😅
Beautiful, than you for posting. Very inspirational.
Awesome! Looks amazing :)
love it! great job!!!
Great idea! I still have some styrofoam and I'd like to make some covering for the ceiling in my room. I just wonder which kind of glue you'd be using to fix is, so that it won't fall down.
My other question is, what kind of paint are you using? You did not mention that. Hope to get any answer from you, thanx a lot!
Manuela
Excellent!! Thank you for doing this. I want to make some props for our display window at work. This technique will help a ton. Have you ever looked at Rocso Sculpt or Coat, or Rosco Brand Theater Scenery Paints. Water based and very versatile. I sold house paint for years Scenery Paint is better for this use. Think about it. Thanks again!!
Amazing
awesome. I would like to know if a blow dryer csn work and a soldering gun without solder?
Great job! Thank you for sharing!
very cool!! I am going to try. it looks easy to damage though since it's just Styrofoam.
Concrete render after shaping it then you can put regular paint on, protects from damage eliminates need for special paint,2 birds 1 stone.
Brilliant job bro👍🇨🇮👍
Looks great prefect colors very good demo. do you have any suggestions for a hard coating ?
That was impressive. Cool process.
Thanks!
It looks fantastic, but you also gave me a genius idea! I always hate to waste paint on the dry brushing , but a lot of times I have to paint poles, rebar, etc black to "hide" them while they are holding a prop or something else. I can use the excess paint on the brush and start painting the poles, rebar, wood poles now.....from the extra paint on the dry brushing ....
Awesome! So glad I could help!
Wow you impressed me congratulations. Can this be used outside and how would you glue it to the concrete?
Brown coat will stick it to the wall
I LOVE IT . Thank you for sharing
This is great! Is there a specific paint that should be used?
Thanks for sharing! Should have seen this before I started my fake fireplace with cardboard. This is much easier to make a brick look alike from styrofoam.
@mae - With Time + Labor + Paint + Etc + Coffee - You could just buy the " Half " Brick and it will be cheaper and it will look better and cost effective too!
@@JodBronson I'm done with my fireplace and it turned out good. Very sturdy with the boxes I used as base - I even placed a half bag full of cement on top. It's already on display for our office Christmas decoration competition. I learned from your tricks on treating the foam. Thanks again :)
I could see myself doing this for my daughters bed, we recently built a loft bed for her and this would look so neat !! Thanks for sharing.
WOW!! Cool! Love it! ♡♡♡
Какой ты молодец !!! Из того что ты говорил я ничего не поняла..
Но по видео, как делал -всё понятно. Ты- Супер!!! Удачи и вдохновения!Спасибо.
Nice job, looks real thanks! How do you fix this to a wall and can this be fixed to a exterior wall which will be exposed to hot sun (I live in a tropical country) and heavy rain?
The grey insulation panels are awesome, because you don't have to paint in the grout colour.
You're a GENIUS!
VERY WELL DONE. WHAT A GOOD PASS TIME YOU HAVE OR MAYBE YOUR FULL TIME WORK. GOOD JOB.
RUNOSUE16 Thank you!
Freakin' awesome. Great idea for set design!!!!
Thanks!
What's the best way to cut it if you have to? Thank you! Awesome job!
that was great love the heat gun
Thanks. What type of glue should I use to stick that stryfoam brick panel onto a masonry wall?
it was good job thank you. From Sydney-Australia
Creative but much better looking and way more durable if you search faux brick wall using joint compound and tape.
You could by this from Home Depot in better durable plastic for 36. 4 by 8
очень красиво !хорошая идея.красота и утепление,всё в одном!спасибо
Excellent!
hi. what kind of paint u use? thnx!
You are an artist. I am not so I'm just going to go to Home Depot and buy a panel. I just don't have that kind of time or talent. Or patience. Very nice
How do you make it stand? Thanks for sharing. It looks good, might put in grandsons room. Your family looks like fun. 😃
great video! thanks for the DIY
Vishal Vadhera thanks!
Beautiful!!!!❤❤❤❤
Awesome job!
Thanks!
That wall is awedome
TOTALLY AWSOME, FANTASTIC TECHNIQUE, THANK YOU!!! (Auntie thinks she is adding humor to the video with her negative little comments, NOT SO, she should just leave!)
Great job,I love it but how U put it on the wall.
Looks fantastic! How would you mount it to the wall? Would you consider this for an actual "look" for a room in a house?
Thank you!! We mounted ours to wooden 4x8 plywood walls with screws and used washers to keep the screws from going all the way through. And I think it would absolutely look fantastic as a "look" for a room in a house! :)
ohhhh, looks flammable....😜😂😂
awesome dude!! going to give it a go.
Cool man, let me know how it turns out!
Neat idea ! Do you make rock walls as well ?
Which color do you use on thermocol. ...
Can we use wall paint
excelente resultado!
Dude that is awesome ! Thanks
I love this!!!!!
Методика интересная!! Молодец! Художественное решение на 3 с минусом....
Muy bien te felicito por tu creatividad...
Fantastic look thanks😃
What’re you using these brick walls for? Haunted house or something?
that's pretty cool man. how do you install it on the wall? permanent glue?
Was thinking the same thing. Maybe construction adhesive?
So beautiful ☺️
Idk I'f you thought of it yet but you could use it as a stamp. Smear drywall mud or plaster whole wall. Thin coat. Then just press foam brick and pull away. Let dry.
Smart way 😍.thanks
Hi ! This look really awesome but let's say I want to use it for a long time , is it possible to harden the styrofoam such that it stays there and doesn't break or anything .
If you're looking for long lasting, then you might want to look into foamula. It's a lot thicker foam that is very hard to break. If your local hardware store doesn't carry it then you can special order it online. Hope this helps.
Thanks a lot (: I just wanna ask for your opinion , do you think coating cement on to the styrofoam can achieve the brick texture and make it harder ?
StillImThere yeah you could do that. Not actual cement because obviously that would make it extremely heavy, but there is a cement like coating that is used on houses that would be perfect for that. I just don't remember the name of the stuff so you'll have to look it up, but it should work great!
Beautiful, I like
Looks good, but I'd never put Styrofoam on a wall, interior or exterior; unless it's more fireproofed than most foams can get, it's a serious code violation, especially if the place is opened to the public.
Great Video!
Espero entiendas español, Que buena idea! If you even worked with concret is possible paint the styrofoam with cement water overloaded, just using a simple brush. then paint and the result is even more real... Any way this is a really good idea.
Awesome job
