Sand Cement Mouldings (Plastering For Beginners)

In this video, I'll show you how to make your own Sand Cement Mouldings.
This was my second time so I can't say I'm an expert but I'll show you essential tips on making your own mouldings from scratch. The only materials I used was sand, cement and water.
I did this from scratch and you can watch me from beginning to end. It's only a little sample version but it's enough to get an idea on how it's made. These mouldings are often seen as ornate decoration around windows and columns.
I'd love to hear from you and any advice would be greatly appreciated since I'm new to this. For more information on plastering visit our website at:

Thanks for watching and I'll see you on the next one.
Cheers,

[@Ben83597]

Thanks for sharing. I try to teach myself masonry in my spare time. I've got deep respect for all you masons out there, because it requires real skill and practice to be good.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thanks mate and thank you for watching!

[@richard01206]

Hi mate, would it not be easier and quicker to just cut the shape into a flat bit of plastic and pull it over a pile of wetter cement, filling in any hollows and repeating the process? Keep up the great videos tho mate. Plastered my whole house after watching you 👍

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

I'm going to look into this for the future - to be honest I just wanted to get the hang of it free hand. Like I said, I had no design, I just wanted to try it! Thanks for watching pal and good on you, glad you're plastering is going well 💪

[@richard01206]

Plastering For Beginners ok mate all the best with it 👍 Ps don’t no how you boys do it every day, my arm kills after just a weekend 😂

[@kidzmurals]

You can do the same as doing running moulds by making a profile of the design you want then make a table to run your moulds on ect great free hand work blaine keep videos going brilliant mate

[@ernestogonzalez17]

That is awesome mate, you got them skills

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Haha thanks pal!

[@chrismckay9869]

Superb videos 🙂.... I have watched foreign guys making intricate designs and always wondered what was the dry powder is that they apply between layers. From watching this I see that it is ordinary cement. Can you please explain what this does to the project and does it weaken the item? how often do you apply? could you use this process for making window bands / sills ?.....keep up the great videos...🙂

[@MarcusT86]

lol wow, Tim is a bot for sure! Anyway, great video idea mate. Can't wait to watch!

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Cheers mate!! Hope you're well my friend.

[@lagueritales]

I have a few questions. I am probably as beginner as they get. What type of table surface are you working on? does the decorative piece come off easy once dried? Now for the most embarrassing question. How do you attach the piece to your window or another surface after making them?

[@HelloWorld-ql3ki]

Those girls putting the concrete on grade as close as they do is a HUGE plus. They're good. Also, breathing the release agent is ok?

[@andygraham7279]

That brew is gonna get cold mate ! Nice work.

You know me too well 😉

Hi mate, about to skim a wall at home 9m2. Coverage of a bag say 10m2, is that 2 coats or one coat? Do I mix 3 quarters then the rest for second coat or do I need to mix another bag for second coat? Sorry for long question but obviously cant nip out for more so dont want to waste it.

[@davidkelleher7386]

Robert Potter ...mix the whole bag at once and you’ll get 2 coats out of that mix.

[@andrewbowman2262]

Blaine you could make a jig out of mdf any shape then get some perspex heat then shape over wood jig. Just an idea plenty gear then run over.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Sounds like a good plan to be mate. Thank you ☺️

[@elvinacrastodesilva9111]

Hi, please could you tell me the ratio of Sand and cement you use? And how long did you need to keep the moulding to dry out? I’m thinking of doing exactly why you have demonstrated. Thank you!

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

It was 4:1 my friend and usually dries within a week pal. Good luck with it 😉

[@elvinacrastodesilva9111]

Thank you!

[@kevinbrown4356]

Hi Blaine mate... Your best is to use a zinc template mate with your shape of the mould 👍.. If you want to learn more I’ll show you sometime...I’m in rye

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Mate I'd love that. How can I get hold of you mate??

[@IainHC1]

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@onpointplastering]

Fine effort m8 if you haven't already look through cement art vids on youtube you might get some good tips just to give you ideas some really amazing sand /cement tradesmen out there seems to be alot of foreigners doing great work their mix looks really strong but man does it look top notch 👍👍👍

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Good they are amazing aren't they!! True talent - I watched some of their videos and they are amazing!! Great hearing from you pal, hope you're well 👍

[@onpointplastering]

@@PlasteringForBeginners as good as it can be during these terrible times hope all are safe cheers👍

[@soupinabasket1]

Burnt cement is black and speeds setting time , much like rapid / fondu etc and could explain dark appearance . Cement is cooked lime , so called experts insist on no cement, just lime , and show their ignorance

[@tombarr2536]

Great videos mate. Keep them coming. Any chance you could do a video on k rend? Like the finish but have never used it myself. Always used sand and cement. Also bellcast beads I struggle with them around windows and floor level ones.. just a thought

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Hi mate! Thank you for watching pal - I'll take a video when I get a chance to use it but to be honest I love sand/ cement. I don't think you can beat it but I'll film it when I can. Great suggestion. Cheers 👍

[@tommason485]

Hi mate have you tried the nela felt brush if so what's your opinions it
