DIY Amazing Cement Clay😊

[@Just2comment-ur8uu]

You dont need vinegar, the chemical in the glue, joint compound and cement is more than enough to be toxic to bugs and you can use donlop wood glue. I use to add cement to my papermache clay over 6 years ago to form a putty to do fine details or thin pieces on a sculpture. I tried on little samples before doing this and tested them by soaking a couple of days in water they all held up well. I wont say that I discovered the idea as I'm sure unknown people have been doing this probably for other purposes for a long time now.👍🏼

[@carlosenriquez2092]

Just something you should know. Vinegar neutralizes the hardening effect of Portland cement. You should try a batch minus the vinegar it should harden better

[@amyland4597]

First and foremost, thank you. About 15 years ago I first started looking into different ways to combine Cement and art. But for a variety of reasons never did anything till a couple years ago with mixed results. Then one day, there you were and everything (with cement ) has changed for me. Thanks to you, I now succeed more often than fail. I do have a question...is the TP you use 1 ply or 2?

🤣🤣 two ply. I am so glad you are finding value in my videos. Keep the questions coming. Sometimes I do leave out pieces of information. I am not a professional🤣

I like your work and many good ideas, but I am looking for a weather proof clay recipe. There is a recipe that Johnie has on her sight, that she tested outside and it has held up for at least one year now. She used 2/3 cup of Portland cement mortar, not concrete. 1/2 cup of PVA Elmers Glue All..not school glue. And 1/2 cup of wet toilet paper. She made medium size toad sculpture over a form and it worked great. She sealed it with a clear enamal..spray… She says it is all experimental, although so far her sculpture has held up in snow and rain. Look her up ..ULTIMATE PAPER MACHE…experimental outdoor paper mache clay. I have not tried it yet, but plan to and May do a video on this as well. God Bless and keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing.

You just confused me. I thought Portland cement was just that. Did not know there were choices. Mortar vs concrete?

[@meganbogart6408]

After a year, how is this holding up outside? Thanks!!

[@tinaknutsen]

Do you use a mold release? If you are interested in making your own molds out of cheap 100% silicone caulking I highly recommend watching Geosubstainable… I tried it on a Harley Davidson rubber front door mat…( I paid too much for it, but it is cool ! ) don’t feel bad now because I made a concrete mat out of the mold for in front of our wood shop. I did have to piece together cardboard to fit it in to get how thick I wanted it. I also learned that from one of his videos. So much cheaper than buying molds or mold kits to make molds. It is an older video. Works great.

Did you say how you are securing the clay to the pot? Will it work pressed onto terra cotta? I’ve been drooling over these Korean 3-D pots/ planters . Soooo expensive.

[@VennasNature]

Good morning. If you are adhering cement clay to terracotta you will want to add white glue or cement bonding agent to the cement and brush it on the terracotta pot. You will also want to seal the pot inside so when you water your plant the moisture won't seep through and damage your art. By the way don't use this clay recipe in this video. use this one 😊 Let me know how it goes😊 Papercrete Recipe 1 c damp toilet paper pulp squeeze out most of the water 1/4 c white glue 1/2 c versabond thinset 1/2 cup portland cement Mix together to the consistency you want thinner for spreading stiffer for modeling

Faço uma massa parecida com essa já há alguns anos, mas bem mais simples!! Somente o cimento, a farinha, a cola branca e um pouco de creme para cabelos para deixar mais maleável, macia e desgrudar das mãos. Funciona muito bem. É flexível, permite modelar rosas, flores, pequenos objetos, e fica bem lisa. Mas a peça precisa ser impermeabilizada depois de seca, pois a farinha com o cimento absorvem muita umidade e com o tempo estraga. Já fiz vários enfeites para mini jardim com essa massa. Fiz joaninhas 🐞, caracóis 🐌, cogumelos 🍄!! Ficaram lindos, mas precisam ser impermeabilizados depois de pintados. A massa como faço fica bem mais barata e bem macia, gostosa e fácil de modelar.

This is a nice water proof clay. Of course you will still want to seal it. Clay Recipe 1/3c portland cement 1/3 c Thinset Tile adhesive 1/3 c white glue Knead with more portland cement if you want a stiffer clay. Also I am from Missouri and transplanted to Arizona. In the winter you get snow and ice. Your cement art will absorb water and then when it freezes it will crack. I also keep mine out of the hot hot direct sun.

@@VennasNature can you sub portland cement for cementall?

[@VennasNature]

@@ACryin_Shame Hello Cryin Shame. Thank you for your question. Cemental is not the same as portland cement. there is portland cement in cenental. Cenental as other materials along with the portland cement such as fine sand being the agate to give strength to the portland cement. You probably could use cenental instead of portland cement. This will change the texture of the finished clay and it will set extremely fast so make small batches. Experiment and let me know. 😊

Any update on this?

[@VennasNature]

This clay is not waterproof on it's own. But if you use a sealer it would be ok on a patio out of the weather. My most recent video with the Diy Gnome house the clay recipe is 100% Water proof. I equal parts Portland cement and thinset and add white glue until it comes together to make a clay. The instructions and recipe is on the video DIY Cement Gnome House and another one is DIY Cement Gnome. Let me know if you have any more questions. Thank you for viewing.

You are such a joy to watch! Thanks for the update for a weather proof mixture. I have seen the nome video, but I will have to go back and watch it. Your pot was so adorable. Sorry it didn't last. Was it pretty soon after you set it out?
