I swift pre-mix concrete a bit to get rid of some of the gravel. It work great for very small items.

@rubbermoldman8544 just did my first casting last night after watching your videos for about a year. Turned out great and wanted to thank you for the great info and guidance

I've been a fan/follower for several years, and I still love to learn from you. THANKS! I've always used the general pre-mix concrete with good results, but I am going to take your advice and try supplementing Portland Cement to future statues to see if I can notice a difference.

Great advice! Thank you..i was looking for ratio but it alao answered my question on quickcrete.

[@SamCoffman-kn9iq]

It would take I alot of time but could you crush the rocks in the premix bags?

[@rubbermoldman8544]

I guess if you wanted to,

The Portland concrete is it from quick Crete as well?

[@rubbermoldman8544]

Portland is a type of cement with no additives like sand or gravel, it’s not a brand. Quikcrete is a brand that has Portland in it along with gravel and sand and different blends of premix.

@@rubbermoldman8544 so where do you get yours

[@rubbermoldman8544]

Usually Home Depot or Lowes but back in the day we'd get an entire truck load from a plant. We've never noticed any difference in quality no matter where we purchase it.

Can a use the non shrink grout Portland cement?

[@rubbermoldman8544]

To my knowledge those are 2 different products. But Ive never used it so I cant say,

[@BelqisGates]

The mold is made of any material

[@rubbermoldman8544]

The molds I make are made from latex/fiberglass.

Have you ever tried a concrete mix made by CTS? Sold at Home Depot, it’s in a green bag and they have one in a blue bag. So many people I know use it for statuary. Just wondering what you thought of it.

[@rubbermoldman8544]

No, I have not,

[@tammymurphy1268]

I tried the quick set type..oh lord to fast for me.🤣
