Hi, do you paint these? Im doing acrylic paintings on them and wondered how to treat them and what to coat to make it last without crack or pealing. If you have any advice, I'd appreciate it.

Where did you by the Styrofoam?
@John-vz5unАй бұрын
Hello noted that one could add foam soapy mixture to styrofoam pellets for better integration. Sand bag tubes in a circle and stacked beehive style for impenetrable heat and cooling efficient dome. Where do you source your pellets from question mark
@firstname-qq3xpАй бұрын
sand bags are a thermal mass. they aren't impenetrable as it is not insulation. It will pick up heat or cold, and dissipate it at night. If it's hot enough for long in the day, it will be like an oven at night, shedding that acquired heat, even if the outside air is already cooler.

This was so helpful. Thank you. If I used the mesh tape technique on an exercise ball, can you give me an idea of how much weight it would hold? If I made 3 balls and laid a round piece of plywood on top (around 3 feet diameter) to make a table, would they be strong enough to hold? In your opinion, no liability.
@zacdaddiy81955 ай бұрын
Thanks, I'm not sure how much it would hold, sorry, but I'm 85kgs and can stand on the ball.... guess it depends how many layers you do
@l9elnine765 ай бұрын
Ok that gives me an idea of the strength. Thanks for responding.

As a process of creating the mold is very interesting, but does not look too much like the moai of Easter Island, lacking the profiled nose, pronounced chin and rounded forehead characteristic of these statues, not to mention that the lips are not so separated from the nose.

@@zacdaddiy8195Thank you so much for your response. I am getting closer and closer to being able to make these myself! So excited! Two more questions: 1. Would regular Elmer's glue or carpenters glue mixed with water help make it stronger? 2. How on earth did you keep the rope from slipping off the ball? I have been thinking about this for a long time and I always picture the rope sliding off and causing extreme frustration.

Just realized I could slow down the video and I saw the answer to question 2-you tied it then pushed the ball down to sort of push back on the rope when you let it go!

I made a 3 feet by 4 feet long, 2 feet high planter box, 5 inches thick, using plywood forms. To get a stone wall look, i drew rock shapes with pencil, then applied beads of silicone caulking on the pencil lines, to serve as fake joints between the fake stones. Roughed up the plywood for fake stone surfaces. Coated the forms with motor oil. Forms and silicone joints came off easily. I was very pleased how it turned out, and very easily done. I used brown dye and charcoal dye for the joints, after parging everything. Very authentic looking.
