Thank you, Peter! For me you are one of the best concrete sculptors ❤. The making of this sculpture gives me valuable hints how to approach my ideas...

[@ThePeterZaytsev]

Thanks! I'm so glad to hear it!

Your work is beautiful...what type of clay is that?

[@choogiesaur]

amazing!! what brand cement can we use? is there a special type that is best suited to this?

[@ThePeterZaytsev]

Thanks! I use cement from local manufacturer (Russia) but I think you can use any cement

[@ДмитрийБ-з2ч]

Завораживает! Используете просто чистый цемент?

[@ThePeterZaytsev]

Спасибо, Дмитрий. Цемент+вода+почти всегда добавляю немного ПВА.

Hello can you give me link to the clay you use?

[@Engelhafen]

Hahaha, I bet so excited watching this process - do you ever tint your lacquer?

[@RichardRocket1]

Is gypsum the same as concrete?

Hi, Thank you for the videos! What is the cement mixture? Is it just pure cement and glue? What is the purpose of the glue?

[@ThePeterZaytsev]

Thanks, Rafael! Yes, only cement, white glue and water. White glue make it a little less fragile.

@@ThePeterZaytsev Hi I love your sculptures. I just wanna know if its normal cement or fast hardening kind of cement?

[@ThePeterZaytsev]

@@ulrikawemmenlind1620 Hi, Ulrika. Thanks!! I use regular cement.

[@ulrikawemmenlind1620]

@@ThePeterZaytsev ok. Why do you use silicon instead of latex and why plaster instead of sealing foam. I am in my learning stage and trying to find out as much s possible before i start. The modelling clay that you use is it hard, medium or soft? I have a plan to make my sculptures wich i make in polymerclay together with cement. Either as a stand or as a sculpture itself in cement. Have you made any outdoor statues?

[@ThePeterZaytsev]

@@ulrikawemmenlind1620 I don't have experience in latex, so I don't know is it possible to use it instead of silicone. And I can't say anything about sealing foam - again no experience. I use medium clay. No outdoor statues yet.

I’ve been loving these videos! I am going to try to make a concrete fingerboard obstacle. What kind of sandpaper do you use when correcting small imperfections? Tryin to keep a smooth finish. Also, what lacquer/polish do you use?

[@ThePeterZaytsev]

Thanks! I use fine sandpaper for wood and I has some random lacquer. So I am using it. It is called "KO-85 heat resistant". Good luck!!

"Creating a mold for concrete" would be a better title even though your title is technically correct. If you mix the concrete perfectly you could actually Use it to Sculpt. But I want to see someone actually use concrete to sculpt. Which is possible.
