Making a concrete lantern with an asian flare

[@robertmcdougall3166]

Lovely to see a true craftsman at work, just so inventive.

Thank you Robert!

Hi Paul, your awesome instructional videos are my life at this moment. I've noticed with the more recent concrete Japanese lantern videos that you have started using a silicone/cornstarch or flour mixture on the positive mold before you add the plaster. I could see using that on components that had some detail, but I don't see the need on the components with little to no detail. Can you tell me the benefit of using the silicone/plaster layers as opposed to just plaster?

Excelente tu trabajo, por favor me puedes decir que mezcla ( color gris ) y que es lo que se parece cabello ( color marrón ) le pones arriba de recubrimiento echo de silicona y harina de trigo. Soy de Argentina y es increíble tu forma de trabajar, gracias.

[@mnbenites]

La mezcla gris e yeso y lo que se parece cabello son fibras naturales, como mas de coco, para anadir estructura

Hi, I love your work, thanks for nice work, please, in which material the 2nd mold is made?

[@tuffgong6194]

what is the name of that material at 5:54 that you are adding to the plaster?

[@BeTheCREATOR]

Wonderful !!!!!

[@honestcomments6060]

That is amazing. Very clever to do the holes in the lantern with cubes out of styrofoam. May I ask where are you from? Probably Europe, Poland maybe?

[@NerdsonJr]

I think he's Romanian. Due to a video about an event in Cluj-Napoca.👍

[@pauliascau]

Romania

How would you suggest to cut the foam without the hot wire cutter?

[@pauliascau]

You can use an utility knife

[@almaarnold1066]
