You should grease the bowl next time, I work construction and when we use concrete on forms we use ‘form oil’ it’s basically oil you spray the forms with so when the concrete is hardened the forms come off easier 👍 hope that helps!!
Should also tell her to either spray it with water for at least a week or just put a bag over it so that it doesn't dry too fast, concrete needs 28 days of being moist before getting 100% of it's hardness

Idk if concrete is the right material for the shapes and thicknesses you are goin for with those second two pictures. However ill bet you could use fiberglass or epoxy for a scaffold on which to form your mix, might work better. Good luck!
Most of those aren't made with straight up concrete, though. They have a fiber glass centre, and then are covered in concrete and polished afterwards. That's why they are so thin.
So your telling me I’ve been throwing away my Art all these years I work in construction and the towels I use to clean my equipment is art wow I’m gonna start selling 😂
Creative minds will always find a use for things most ppl would view as trash. I used to raid the garbage dumps of construction sites for used/dumped material. Made quite a few sculptures with it too. Youd be surprised what some people will want to display as art in their homes. Personal aesthetics are incredibly varied, so it may seem funny to some, but to others it's pure beauty.
If you want to make those tables I think they're most likely made using concrete board. It's concrete that's bound up in a mesh and mostly dried already. You can wet it and form it to get those smooth flat surfaces.

If you end up trying something that requires greater strength, like a table, here’s a few tips: Look for high strength mortar. Mortar is just sand and cement (looks like you’re probably doing this already) but using grout or concrete will make a thin structure like this weaker in most cases. You can use concrete admixtures like a superplasticizer (I used Flow Control, found at Home Depot). Superplasticizer replaces some of the water weight with a polymer or other synthetic that increases strength, as more water makes the cement weaker. You can even make epoxy/mortar blends! They are commonly used in my state, mostly on bridges. Also, you can use accelerants or retarders to control set times, or add fiberglass to reduce cracking and add some strength. Admixtures are a big part of what makes modern concrete so capable. Mix at a 0.15 water/1.0 concrete ratio by weight to make the strongest mixes and add a superplasticizer until it reaches the desired consistency. My last table reached nearly 6500psi in three days from a 4500psi/28day bag mix just by using a super and adding fiberglass.
@@thatsreality5184 True! My lab uses regular old cooking oil for molds and it works alright but there is many professional products that work well and diesel also works well from what I’ve heard.
yuh it's never the artists fault. the line art is wobbly? pens fault. there's a blue splodge that isn't meant to be here? paints fault. skipped a stitch? yarn's fault. hole in the canvas from where i got mad and punched it? canvas's fault.
We make these vases and sell it years ago, and I believe you have to use a fabric that absorbs water faster (cotton/canvas fabric type)... Once it's dried, you can re-apply a more watery cement mix so that it hardens better. We also paint it which makes the vases more stiff and keeps the shape of it better❤️
If you care so much go complain to corporations, the people actually creating major waste problems. Not people doing art for fun. Like.. you just sound miserable 🤨 They even used concrete from an old project instead of wasting it but that’s not good enough huh? How dare they have fun 👺 lmao

You can keep that garden art to yourself sir. PS failing to do your laundry doesn’t make it a “collection,” it’s still just not washing your dirty clothes. I do hope you wash your laundry yourself and don’t try to get your mother to wash your raunchy Stonehenge-of-socks “collection.” Cuz she knows what’s in your grody socks.
Some of the pictures you showed are projects made with GFRC, not just plain cement. I guarantee you’ll have much more promising results if you use the correct materials. You can lay a thin sheet of it and then shape it to bend and curve given you keep the work space at the right humidity/temperature and catch it at the prefect stage of curing. Hope this helps!

It would be a lot easier with a mortar or a cement patcher mix instead of a floor level mix. Floor level mix is weak and can become powdery after curing
I know how to do it it’s so easy All you need is a good towel and a wooden Storm and something to make it smooth so it can come off easily all you do is wrap the substance on you put the towel in the concrete and then you put it on the chair while it sat there and let it dry in the sun if you’re able to and when it’s done you can put whatever you want in it but make sure you have a nice big towel or just use a blanket I hope this helps
Cool creations! FYI Concrete hads gravel and sand and Portland Cement. Cement alone is what it looks like you're using? Also glass fibers, high strength mortar mixes with acrtlic liquid additives might be a good mix. LOVE the creativity! 👍❤😎
if you put baby oil on the pastic/bowl the concrete will break away easier. we use it in the concrete business to keep the molds from sticking to the concrete
You could tear off the excess trash bag and then drill some holes through the bottom and use that bowl as like a planter where you could plant things

Good idea

the whole concrete diy series is so hilarious 😂😂 love it tho💕
Try to find a Portland cement classified as very low heat (VLH) and rapid dry (R) if you look for the classification search on the bag for "CEM I"
Heating the bowl might break it loose. Use a torch and wear heat resistant gloves. Think ahead!
If u pook at the otger pics u added u can see a bowl or a bucket inside stuck in it
285k subs keep it up btw new subscriber here 🙂
But my question is like what purpose does this serve? Where would you even put something like that
Spray the bag or bowl with hairspray..
Coat the bowl with silicon oil
Concrete will not stick to oil
You should use cheesecloth
Im glad shes having fun. But the thought of concrete on a towel makes me weirdly uncomfortable
Same it makes me feel uncomfortable as wearing a wet clothes. I hope that made sense
Ikr..
I work in construction and even I was uncomfortable watching this for some reason lmao

I use to spray Pam cooking spray & then pour in the plastic mold with concrete. Your work is fabulous!
1k likes and no reply's let me fix that
Let’s be honest tho, more cement would of soaked it up even better.
NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN NEVER GONNA TURN AROUND AND FORGET YOU
Pam... good idea!
A silicone spray would also be a good thought for this. That would make the plastic bag irrelevant and unnecessary.

The latter two pictures are GFRC - which is reinforced with chopped up fibreglass, as you suggested.
I agree!
Most of those aren't made with straight up concrete, though. They have a fiber glass centre, and then are covered in concrete and polished afterwards. That's why they are so thin.
None of those are made with concrete. Concrete has rock in it.
