I make paper mache pot for plants. My pots are unpainted or untreated with any waterproofing. My pots get wet and can contain water for up to 3 days before the water seeps out the bottom slowly. All of my pots hold their shape and form are hard and I can get away with less layers than normal paper mache. I make my own mixture because in South Africa if there are products, they are just too expensive to buy. Best cover the mold with plastic wrap or cling wrap for easy removal. My pots can be painted with anything basically for colour and the colour can even be mixed into the mixture and then glossed after the fact for the prettiness.

I would say you want the consistency to be like pancake batter or a touch thicker depending on your preference (start with a half cup or so of mortar and gradually add water while mixing). I have also had a successful sculpture with mixing the mortar or Portland cement (I think the flexbond will be the best long term goal being outside since ive had solid concrete store bought sculptures crumble after being in the elements all year for years straight) with paper pulp for a clay (papercrete) and used garden wire mesh for a form with plastic bags for structure stuffing pulling it out after it's set up. Play around with the stuff until you find what works for you. Wear some gloves and drop some plastic it gets a little messy :) good luck and have fun! Extra note: the longer it dries the harder it sets, wait a few days for it to set before pulling your plastic bag fillings and at least a week before you paint for best results. ;)

Once dissolved with acetone it pours out of a very small hole as a liquid. If you do not have to remove the interior to create a void as with our birdhouse project the foam can be left and provides a very strong water resistant base.

Thanks for this video! Very informative. Just a few questions if you have the time, 1. Is Flex Bond the best brand of mortar that you have tried or can other similar products of different brands work as well? If they can/could, what is the most important aspect of the material (ex: crack prevention, thin-set, tile vs mason, etc.)? If not, and FlexBond is the only brand which seems to work, did you follow the exact water to mortar ratio for Flex Bond or did you need to tinker with it in any way? Let's say, theoretically, that I have an 'in' at a hardware store and could get anything I needed for free. Is Flex Bond still my best choice? 2. I am considering using this technique for some custom outdoor Halloween decorations and am really just wondering if you have tried any of these ideas or have any ideas on how they could be achieved: A. I like your use of foam and I will definatly try it out for details like fingers and facial features, but could this mixture and process be applied to large (say, life-size) chicken wire frames in almost a wallpaper strip fashion and still dry and hold its shape? Perhaps if I stuff the frame with paper or painters tarp to help back it as it dries, then remove the filler after the first coat hardens? B. Have you tried tinting the mortar mix then sealing with a clear coat? (This idea comes from considering lighting the figure from inside but using the mixture as a heavy diffuser for the internal light source, giving the glow a bit of transparency and reflection). The outdoor clear coat simply replaces the tinted outdoor coat in your process. Perhaps high-gloss for shine and reflection? C. Have you tried any other types of paper with this mixture? (newsprint, parchment, tissue, tracing, etc.) If so, how did well did they work or not work? D. Have you ever attempted this process with a clear acrylic (like window sealer) mixture? Say, theoretically, I make a simple wire frame (chicken, mesh, etc), then use a clear acrylic mixture in place of the mortar mixture which hardens and waterproofs after it dries (like shower or tub caulk), then continue with the rest of your process to waterproof? Or...tint the acrylic mixture, let's say Slimer green, and use with strong translucent papers (parchment, tracing, tissue, etc), finally sealed in a couple outdoor clear coats? Theory leads me to think this would be tedious but, if done right, you would end up with a somewhat translucent ghost which looks solid enough by day, but when lit from inside at night, would almost resemble a resin-casted effect (keeping the 10-20ft rule from scenic design in mind) which is still durable and light weight. Thoughts? Ideas?

Hi! I too have the same questions for my Halloween yard decor. Did you happen to find a solution?

@KtO6802 жыл бұрын
@@TiffinFL We tried the flex bond and it works well but was too heavy for our purposes (which wasn't really very heavy at all but we needed floating ghosts and the mortar mix weighed the frame down too much, so they just hung there instead of swaying with the wind). If you want to make something permanent to be outside year round, this flex bond method is the way. But for temporary stuff like Halloween deco, its really only needed if you think something might fall on the deco and harm it, like a big tree limb or something. We've talked about doing a demonstration tutorial on this, but now our Halloween display is permanently canceled due to local teens becoming destructive. Its one thing to throw stuff at store bought deco, its another to trespass, vandalize, steal, and damage personal property of hand made pieces. One says "fuck Capitalism" and the latter says "I'm a spoiled brat who has no appreciation or respect for anything, especially myself and my community". So, this is probably the only tutorial we will have to offer: (Note: our theme was Ghostbusters, so most of our deco needed to act as their own little light box so they glowed on their own. This method gives both opaque or translucency in the finish, just depends on what you are wanting to achieve. This will not fully seal certain projects and dampness will occur where any gaps are left for cords or rigging, but it will not ruin or cause a failure to the prop and the dampness will fully dry out in just an hour in the sun. Also, some of our figures needed to be fully 3D and sealed while others could remain open in the bottom or back for access. The piece and its needs will determine which methods and steps below will work best for you) 1. Chicken wire for the frame and general outer shape. Be sure to figure out all rigging needs at this stage so you don't have to cut it back open and repeat the seal process later. If you want the figure to glow from within, see Note 1 below. We use LED rope light so it doesn't get too hot and the lights are sealed inside the rope tubing for extra waterproofing protection. Note 1: if you want the figure to glow from within but not cast the shadow of the chicken wire frame, make a full 3D tape ball figure from masking tape and plastic shopping bags (only plastic bags, not paper). Once the outer skin is laid on the figure and dried (still leaving access to the inside somewhere), you can remove the plastic bag form and fill the space with rope light then finish sealing the form. External lighting will not effect or show the chicken wire, only internal lighting which back lights the wire will. Note 2: Insulation foam does not need anything to seal it except outdoor latex paint + a UV clear coat unless its at risk of being harmed by falling objects, then use the flex bond method for extra sturdiness. A mixture known as "goop" in theatre (part outdoor latex paint, part painters caulk, and part joint compound -- mix ratio of each depends on sturdiness and aesthetic needs) can also work if flex bond isn't available to you. 2. Cut several sized strips of cheesecloth in advance, enough to apply at least 3 layers to the frame. 3. Have a whole bloody box of disposable gloves on hand, as well as a dust mask or respirator. You're gonna go through them quickly. 4. Choose a 1'x1' section of your frame/form, cover it in spray adhesive (we prefer gorilla glue spray for its waterproofing, but any kind will work. You'll go through several cans so start on something small to gage material needs and cost. No need to spend the extra on gorilla if not needed). 5. Lay/stretch a precut strip of cheesecloth over sprayed area of the chicken wire frame and smooth with gloved hands and a small dry chip brush. Work quickly in small sections as the spray dries fast and you can end up gluing yourself to the frame or, well, to yourself. The gloves will get coated and unusable rather quick. I replace them the first time I pick up a can to spray the frame and the glove sticks to the can rather than my hand. They are so sticky at that point that they are useless anyway and will cause you to backtrack on your progress. Dont bother with expensive pvc or workers gloves, just the same results and money wasted. 6. Repeat step 5 all over the frame until at least 3 layers of cheesecloth are applied and fully dried. Tap your finger against areas of gapping in the chicken wire, if the cheesecloth holds firm, you can move on. If not, add another layer of cheesecloth to the whole frame until you get solid tap results. Do not just spot treat the weak spots as the cheesecloth is acting as structural integrity. Let completely dry for at least 12 hours. 7. Make a basic mache glue mix using wood glue and water (yes it will give a yellow tint to the mix but the wood glue is more durable after being cut with water than basic white glue, and you can fix the tinting with paint or lighting). I suggest getting a gallon of elmers wood glue as you will be repeating this step just as many times as the cheesecloth step. 8. Cut and prep materials for mache process just like the cheesecloth. For EXTERIOR lighting and OPAQUE finish: newsprint is ideal. For INTERIOR lighting and a TRANSLUCENT finish: use extra large white coffee filters (we tend to buy them in bulk from costco for these projects, like 1,000 in a box for $5 - they go translucent when wet but retain strength & durability like newsprint). 9. Coat your prepped strips in the glue mix, throughly soaking the strips, then apply to the frame using a chip brush to smooth the strips or apply more mix or straight glue where needed. Coat the entire frame TWICE, allowing the piece to fully dry in-between layers (having a few box fans running while working will speed this process up). 10. Repeat the tap test process from step 6 to find and treat weak spots. For opaque finishes, simply apply more strips where needed for aesthetic or structural integrity. For translucent, pop a flashlight or bundle of string lights inside the figure to seek out leak or weak spots first. Mark weak spots to be reinforced with more filter strips and only patch these weak spots first and allow to fully dry, then cover entire figure with more filter strips to match the light leak from the patched areas (this is really only necessary if you need an even finished look. If your finished look needs a patchy, dark blotchy appearance - like craters on the moon - then you're good to go as is by simply patching necessary areas). NOTE: This is your last chance to get easy access to the inside without having to recover the entire piece in mache again should you have to break inside for work. If making a translucent piece, this is the point you will pull out the plastic bag form underneath the outer cheesecloth and paper shells and fill with rope light. 11. Cover entire form in one last layer of mache material, sealing any holes or gaps for cords or rigging to prevent water leaks. Allow to fully dry. 12. Coat any openings or gaps left in the frame around wiring with FlexSeal clear coat spray. Allow to fully dry. 13. Using ONLY LATEX paint with primer included (indoor or outdoor) paint your finish. Remember, if going translucent, paint with the interior lights turned on so you get a balanced paint finish that isn't too dark; I tend to use enamel spray paint as a base for these so I can get a solid base color coating in a thin layer, then add latex on top, but that does take some practice. If opaque is desired, just layer your paint as needed. 14. After your finished look is achieved and the figure is fully dry inside & out, cover any more gaps or weak spots with another layer of FlexSeal clear coat. Let dry. 15. Finally, and the MOST IMPORTANT step: cover entire figure in at least 2 coats of Ace Hardware's Seal Tech waterproof coating (follow directions on the can for ideal results: humidity can screw it up). Only Ace makes and sells this product and it is a dream come true. It will even waterproof any soft goods you want to put out: it didn't just seal the mache skull of our ghostbuster but also the wig, legit jump suit, and his shoes. It is as thin as water so it can be brushed on or put into a pressure sprayer without issue. Repeat this last step every year before putting display pieces back out. The Seal Tech is like Shellac, gives a good natural seal but wears over a 6 month period of constant exposure. Just to be safe, always recoat every season. NOTE: For certain fully 3D projects, an extra outer coating of FlexSeal clear on top of the Seal Tech is perfectly fine if it makes you feel better. Just note that the Flex Seal leaves a lightly textured matte finish. If the finish needs to be smooth, stick to the Seal Tech or try multiple layers of Shellac. The Shellac will hold up for the month but may need a quick touch up after a few weeks if its been really wet out.

Was really disappointed to see all the harmful chemicals used for a process that appeals because of its low environmental and monetary cost. This method just seems to completely invalidate.

1. Speech OR music. One or the other. Not both at the same time. 2. Use acetone on foam to melt it and make a birdhouse??? You didn't think THAT through very well. Poor baby birds!

I went to your site with a lot of anticipation... Just to find yet another tiresome place with hard-to-read gray text on a gray background. Black-on-white has been good for more than 4,500 years, but the new kids think they're going to improve things. Not happening, guy. Maybe you could get some advice from a PROFESSIONAL who knows the basics. I might run across it somewhere down the line. For now, I'll just skip it. Too bad, because it looks pretty good.
