How to PARGE and SCULPT with Rapid Set Cement All (Part B)

[@butterfly2385]

you say, your not an artist, but you are, thats why I watch your channel, because of the art...✌❤😁

Wow, looks like you have been doing this for 30 years.

[@sandorstrohmayer8416]

Michael I never said a public thank you for all the help you have given me with my projects. Thank you for sharing and kindness

[@runtochrist1975]

Amazing and I see how cement isn't being valued like it should for being an art form. I enjoyed watching this video.

[@Mukundanghri]

It is, just not in this country. Asian countries use it for architectural, artistic and sculptures alot.

I been watching his videos for 30 years.

[@nealandersen4867]

Best test for this product on YT. Everyone else is doing fence posts. Thanks

[@TheDeerInn]

In my 237 years I have never seen anyone put brick on a wall like that, but oh by gosh by golly, you did it and it worked. I am a gonna have to get me some of that.

[@speedracer210]

I love Rapid Set products. I have used their hydrolock to repair a foundation wall which stops water leaks followed up with their mortar mix which they recommend to also use on foundation wall repairs and now I'm getting ready to use their Cement All. I've done a lot of research on that product and I can't say enough how much I love their products. I follow two contractors on KZbin that also use and recommend Rapid Set products.

[@TheDroppedAnchor]

Your Dudeness, Superb two part instructional video. Wonderfully adaptable. Excellent mentorship. This talent can get you hired in the Scenic Arts department of tv or moviemaking industry. Finally, absolutely the best destruction scene I've ever seen. Hall of Fame nomination from me.

[@MichaelBuilds]

Lol 😂 thank you very much!

[@H.DotNet]

Use the material to its full potential . Really enjoy watching both Part A and Part B. Thanks

[@johnbrevard5966]

At the beginning ov video I thought, this guy thinks hes so Cool, at the end, I said to myself, This Guy ios So Cool!!.. :)

[@ostrichland9161]

The truth is, after watching this “Cool Guy” (I felt the exact same way), I feel confident in trying something like this. Very informative and makes the process seem user friendly.

[@edkelley6916]

You have made a new fan! I loved the wall. Got a lump in throat watching you smash it... but then again was in awe how well they both adhered to the bricks.

[@micmichaeladflak6373]

A true artist, create a masterpiece of immense beauty and then..........

[@Sarahranjit]

The end was definitely a great way to release stress.... it looks like the half block still didn’t break off! 🌸🌺🌸

[@dansamson7081]

You’re the best guy doing this type of video I’ve seen, nice work Michael. I’ve had the idea to sculpt concrete into stones or bricks for a long time and didn’t know the products to use. Thanks!

[@realmcraftchronicles]

I have nothing in my backyard, and after this channel, I just want to build concrete bowls and concrete tables for days lol. I would love to see other builds

[@JohnRomant]

I got that nervous feeling when the mix stopped giggling around 8:08. Then you actually said it! People who are familiar with high performance concrete know all to well about the rush that comes from racing the set time. Out here in Vegas it is not for the faint of heart because even set control adds only a couple minutes of working time. Great Channel.

[@Danny-ju2ip]

I'm back. You've given me the courage to tackle my exterior foundation. I've used the rapid set mortar mix to patch some holes and adhere a broken corner. Stuff is amazing and bonds incredible. I'll use the cement all as a final parge coat. Thanks for a great video !!

[@HB-yq8gy]

Thank great video I'm learning a lot. I used 4 bags of Cement All for the first time resurfacing our patio. Definitely, a learning experience the first bag wasted a lot. But, gradually for me mixing by hand was better than a drill.

[@Pallidus_Rider]

I can't stop watching these videos 😲

[@MichaelBuilds]

Welcome to the channel! 😊👍🏻

[@logan214]

Awesome video. I have block retaining walls around my pool that I just can't find time to stone veneer. This is the perfect solution!! Much appreciated.

[@popseeco1]

Same here!!! Glad I found this video.. I wanna do this to it! It would look smooth as silk!

[@Mrbenz6944]

Pretty impressive watching someone so good at their trade!

[@deannagomes7947]

Love everything about this! This girl is not afraid of tools and trying new things. I have a rough-looking 4 1/2 foot tall cement pad that acts as a retainer wall to a lower patio with a hot tub up above it on the upper patio. I'm going to try this to decorate that wall. I'm definitely making this channel part of my youtube family of go-to media. :)

It was unexpected but it was awesome he does it so well

[@stephaniecontartesi6421]

You are an artist and I really wanted to cover my foundation with those brick veneers, but I don't want to spend the money for them, so I'm going to try to do the bricks like you did. I'm a sixty-year-old woman and I'm fixing my Foundation,it's full of cracks. I've learned how to do so many things in this house hope I can do it , but I don't know

[@craftychick48]

That's mesmerizing to watch. I want to add a riverstone stone effect at the bottom of my house, then put siding above that. Currently it's wood siding. This video gives me inspiration. Great choice in the beer!

[@oBseSsIoNPC]

I learned my lesson after 30 years of doing stuff, that not wearing gloves during demolition is a bad idea. Had a chunk of concrete fly right into my fingers and cut me pretty good as I was pounding a few blocks real hard (giggity giggity).

Everytime I watch one of your videos I want to get er done.. . Instead i just continue watching.... Keep it up! My 9 year old enjoys your stuff aswell.

😍 in love with that wall. I’ve been looking for someone to do my wall for me and even offer to pay my brother and he won’t even respond said he’s too busy. I’m gonna have to tackle this one on my own. Wish me luck! Trial and errors I guess 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@kathic8823]

Go get it, girl! My husband quit trying to do any concrete repair around our house once I asked if I could try it and did it much better than he ever has! Now he just does the mixing & brings me the mortar to work my magic! I'm going to use this video sometime this summer to spruce-up my front porch. I hadn't considered doing the stone-look thing, but I think I am going to do it . I want to find out how tough it would be to use concrete dyes to give the stones different colors. You can do this! :-)

[@Amsbury]

Elaine, did you do the wall? Share it with us. We'd love to see it.

[@vazquezr3ynaldo]

Woow what a nice video, I’m thinking of getting a manufactured home and searching for ideas for the under pinning and the first video gave me the answer, fake rock looking like with the stucco or brick cheep and beautiful, thanks !

[@3PhasePower]

nice video! love this mix. expensive now in 2023. and yea it can be hard to finish. even with "set control" packets. the packets sacrifice strength though. read directions carefully. you can use several packets per bag. you can really feather edge this stuff and really does NOT shrink.

[@Yotataco04]

Awesome work. I would love to see how you coffee table and curved counter tops are holding up after a year of wear and tear!?

Well Michael, I see you didn't miss me.😭 Lol just to let you know how much I like watching your videos, I over cooked my pizza, I had to show you to my other half. He liked that making of stone on bottom of wall. Said be good for our chimney, the one for the furnace we don't use. The one he won't get a chance to put stone on now. Now he understands why I don't want to miss your videos. Sorry missed last one,. Phone was out, missed notification for it. Thank you so much for your videos they are fun to watch and learn from everyone. Hope you and family are well and safe. 😄 Sorry, the phone was before last week. Last week I was in our woods cutting down trees for our firewood. Yes, I am also a lumberjack. Lol.

[@jesseison-bowman3964]

I absolutely love rapidset cementall. I just repaired my concrete steps. It rained an hour later and i forgot to tell my daughter to come in the back door wjen she got home. Guess what? It did not matter that they got rained on or that she walked on them. That is how gast it sets up and how strong it is. Love it

All in all, I second this most excellent suggestion.

[@kevinkidderphotographer]

Love your videos! Thank you for the easy to follow "recipes" and the confidence builders to give this a try

[@dennisjoiner4164]

Great job as usual. You may want to emphasize that you must use SET Control to get this type of finish and working time.

[@iamfreebecauseofhim2027]

We have to use the set control to work with this stuff. I used it today in a 90° temperature and it set up so quick that I didn’t have a chance to work with the whole material, I end up loosing half a bag. However is a awesome product.

[@royrussell8531]

You are amazing, informative, and hilarious all at the same time!!! Love you🐻🐻🐻

[@cruiser97eric1]

You all need to keep in mind that this awesome Cement All comes with a steep price. In late 2020 a 55 lb bag is about $25 where I live. That is several times more expensive than regular products based on Portland cement. Also note the hardening time is very temperature dependent. The specified 15 minutes is at 70F. The warmer the mixed cement is the faster it hardens. During hot weather it can easily start hardening in 5 minutes instead of 15.

[@slaplapdog]

Amazing strength in such a short time! Aluminum Silicate cements are very heat resistant, how about a fancy fire pit?
