Came looking for how to do a sort of river tunnel type thing without it falling apart as thats one of my favorite things I always liked to try to make as a kid. Saw your hand stacking vid and then looked a this more recent one. Lovely :) so that's how sandcastles are made! I just went on making my rivers and mountain blobs for all time haha, but it'd be nice to start branching out and trying fancy buildings. You sure make it look easy! And really clever on blowing the sand away to show the details without messing it up. That's so smart that people do that, would've never thought of it.

What did you spray the buckets with?
@SandcastleAndy2 ай бұрын
i use silicone spray as it dries very fast is a good release agent and uis inert - if you use any organic based liquids they tend to produce mold here due to the very high humidity

Can this be done with a regular bucket, then when the sand and water is ready flip it like a traditional sand castle?
