This may just be the project that gets me started in faux rock making! Love, love, love it!! In one of your future videos, can you address the clean-up process? How do you dispose of the extra concrete?

[@fauxrock]

Well, thank you very much for your positive feedback. I appreciate you taking your time to watch my video. My objective is always to mix the right amount of cement, but if I do have a little extra, I have a mold that I put the mud in and eventually it gets filled thus not wasting any Cement. Thanks again.

So how large can you make one if you wanted it to walk through and it not blow over in the wind?

[@fauxrock]

@kevinpayne3819 there is no limit to the size that you could make rock features using this process

[@shirley9066]

I might try a snow fence.

I love these videos of yours... but can I use these faux rocks in Seattle where it is very very wet? That is my main concern. Thank you for your artistic and clever videos!

[@fauxrock]

Thank you very much for the positive feedback… I really appreciate you taking your time to watch my video. Yes, these rocks can be utilized in Seattle. Your weather is just like mine here in Oregon.

[@clalibus]

What would you suggest to seal this if i wanted to integrate this into a fountain for my mailbox. What would make it hold water at the bottom without it leaking/absorbing

[@fauxrock]

There are a lot of ways to create water tight characteristics. I generally use a Hydro seal coupled with 100% acrylic sealer‘s. Both are available on the market by several manufactures.

[@aura8014]

Wow, really nice! How much does that weigh?

[@fauxrock]

Thanks for the positive feedback. I appreciate you watching my video. The rock weighs 55lbs. Thanks again.

[@TrueBrit1]

I've watched many of your videos, so apologies if I've missed it. I'm sure you have a video explaining what your mud consists of, although I think there was some confusion over the fibres used? I'm assuming it's just regular chopped (fibreglass) fibres? As for the paint you use, is it just regular latex paint, and for inside or outside use? I'm further assuming the colour is locked in when you use sealer, and to that end regular concrete sealer? This is the part I'm wondering about most - what type of climate do you have there? I'm not aware of your location, but the green environment suggests to me you are somewhere that can be quite wet at times and probably very cold during winter? Do you have any issues with the paint you use? Thanks in advance.

[@fauxrock]

I use a lot of different formulation throughout the videos that you’ve watched most the time I’m using just regular mortar mix from Lowe’s or Home Depot because that’s what most of the viewers from KZbin are going to be able to get hold of. I do use stronger mixes that I have formulated proprietarily that I only offer to people who go through one of my different training courses. It’s always best that you use 100% acrylic paints not the latex because the sealer can burn it very easily. You were right thinking that once you put the sealer on you like the colors in and you lock out any other thing being able to further stain the rock a different color. Thanks for watching my videos. I do appreciate it.

[@fauxrock]

As far as Weather goes, I have had rocks that we made for years in the south west very hot temperatures very dry. I’ve also been in the north east, and the north west where we have moisture and freeze thaw issues to deal with but all of the formulations with the processes you’ve seen on, KZbin are working fine without issue again I started making rock features back in 74 and then in 89. I started doing artificial rock, so this isn’t something I just started yesterday it’s tried, true and tested. Thanks again.

[@TrueBrit1]

@@fauxrock Thanks for your reply and information. We have ready mixed cement/concrete here, but I always prefer to mix my own to achieve the desired consistency. It's interesting to learn that you use acrylics, rather than latex. Over here, we call it emulsion paint, but from many videos I've watched over the years, I know your latex is our emulsion. I have made a few faux rocks in recent years, and have used a stamping method with silicone texture mats (mainly volcanic moulds I took in the Canary Islands), plus black release powder so as to avoid the concrete sticking to the mats, and to leave a dark residue to highlight the texture. I have also made a couple of 5ft Easter Island heads, and aim to make some Egyptian type items - no idea what yet! I have sealed them with waterproofing liquid and, like you, have not had any problems from freeze/thaw. We have freeze/thaw here too, but maybe not on the same scale as in your northern states. We may have below freezing temps for 7-14 days each winter, but most of the time our winter temps are around 5-10 degrees (centigrade - 40-50 Fahrenheit), with highs of mid 30s (again, centigrade - mid 90s Fahrenheit), although most years we get late 30s for a few weeks, but average summer temps are around mid 20s (around 80 Fahrenheit). That is here in the South East of England - up North is cooler and wetter. The big problem with mine is the weight - although I note from some of your videos, yours can be heavy too. I guess it's the nature of construction. Keep the videos coming as I really enjoy them.

[@fauxrock]

@TrueBrit1 the early 70s are used to live in Cornwall… so with that I’ll say thanks my brother across the pond…

[@JamieHathron]

What is the bonding agent u use

[@fauxrock]

I use 100% acrylic bonding agent

[@robertwoods3701]

Do you mix in a fiber in the cement, or is it bought already with fiber in it?

[@fauxrock]

Are utilize a lot of different materials to make mixtures/formulations. it really depends on the performance characteristics needed to accomplish an objective. Often times I do use fiber reinforcement along with other textile reinforcement. Thanks for watching my video.

[@triplex7144]

how long did it take to make?

[@fauxrock]

About eight hours in total, which was done over a couple of days due to dry times

[@KFB__]

Has anyone seen a DIY for fake concrete slabs? (not rocks)

[@fauxrock]

Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate you watch my video. Don’t know anything about fake concrete slabs I haven’t seen anybody putting videos on that up.
