You turned your liquid dye into solid dyes. Try pondering it up and then add it to a new concrete pour and see if it dyes it all and is stronger.

[@justdodgy]

@EvanAndKatelyn2 Have you thought about using some clear resin on that concrete one and replace the parts missing with clear or coloured resin

[@resynnminis7406]

Loved this video, question though, Have you thought of using your resin air vacuum while on the cement table shaker to help remove the bubbles from the cement? like put the mold in the pressure pot, then put that on the cement shaker table thing?

[@StefyB5]

To keep the coffe table cheaper you could do just relatively thin layers of terrazzo/razzo to apply to a wooden table to cover it, you know what I mean?

The failed plant pot gives off vibes similar to an abandoned city being reclaimed by nature. I wouldn't necessarily look to buy or make something like it, but now that you've got it, it's got a vibe.

There's a part of me that thinks that figuring out how to make these and keep them aesthetically pleasing could be a lot of fun. I'm with you though, now that it exists, it's a lil mood somehow.

From someone that works with decorative concrete.... Use powder color, use white Portland, be intentional with your vibration, and set your colored stones before pouring. Also cure the concrete as slow as possible. Fun episode guys!

The cement fail one looks like it could be used for a 'broken down castle' diorama. That would be so cool!

[@aspenrayne5951]

That was my first thought. Like I could see someone using this technique to make a battle map for ruins

[@melaniesmith768]

I'm no expert but I've done some terrazo for fun and have a few notes in case you want to try and make the full table in the future! Firstly, you can absolutely use a regular orbital sander on concrete with a stone aggregate, just make sure you leave the cement to cure for a couple of weeks to ensure it is hard enough that it gets ground down at the same rate as the stone, and of course always wet sand! You can also buy white cement which will work a lot better with the pigments.

Alternative Title: Evan and Katelyn don`t know that white concrete exist.

[@kat-92]

I 100% knew the concrete one would turn out the way it did due to the dry first pour and wet second pour. I think if you look up how to do exposed aggregate you may have a nicer result. My man is concrete technician and I've randomly learned so much over the years of listening to his work stories and pours we've done for ourselves, friends and family.✌️❤️

[@dlo7798]

Thanks for posting this. Came to make sure this was covered. The concrete in the first pour didn’t have enough water at all, so I also expected this reaction as someone who does concrete crafting.

[@michaelpiper8198]

honestly the fact that the regular concrete one was a failure due to so many user error's just goes to show how much more beginner friendly the Razzo is in comparison.

[@RedRingOfDead]

Razzo Evan and Katelyn's seal of approval 👌🏻

[@Palitato]

They aren't beginners though. Anyone who has done a number of DIYs like they have should have spotted immediately that that concrete was too dry at first... I've never even done concrete and I could tell it wasn't going to flow into the mold like it should. Normally I love E&K but with the Razzo being supplied by one of their sponsers this feels almost like they sabotaged themselves on the concrete just to make the Razzo look even better (Which tbh they didn't need to do, it looks great and would have looked great even if the concrete one didn't fail...) I just don't understand how two experienced DIYers like them could have thought in any universe that the concrete mixture they started with was at ALL acceptable to put into a mold.

[@RedRingOfDead]

@@Palitato hard agree on the concrete mate. I've worked with concrete. And it needed atleast 1/4 extra water maybe even 1/3 extra. I get with adding colourant it might throw off some calculations. But not to this extend

[@themysteriousone33]

@@Palitato I'm pretty sure they have said fairly recently that it has been a while since they worked with concrete. I think it was 100% user error, but not with malicious intent. It's always good to give people the benefit of the doubt. :) Evan and Katelyn's character as content creators has always come from a place of kindness and creativity--not purposively fooling their audience for extra bucks.

I actually love the vibe of the concrete one, and I think if you reinforced the structure with some transparent blue resin, I think it would look really cool And maybe even... glitterrr

[@AtomixKingg]

imo, reinforcing it (especially with glitter resin) would remove the charm of it looking post-apocalyptic. I'd say keep it as it is, but find a suitable place to put it. My immediate thought was on a garden table, though it depends if they have that.

[@invisiblesteve9523]

I love how NOT clickbait this is. One was an absolute work of art and the other was a very different work of… post apocalyptic destruction. Nice.

[@Brimikyu]

The Razzo looks like what you were going for, while the concrete did not, making it a fail for what you were going for. HOWEVER, the concrete looks great in its own way. It gives me a more industrial feel, and I love the asymmetry. It's really up to personal preference.

[@ledemon_hyru4]

As someone who is obsessed with apocolyptic/overgrown moods, I really like the "failed" one xD I would just coat it in something to make sure it doesn't actually fall apart! Well done you two!

[@leahgroess5361]

When they were using the liquid dye as a replacement for water I knew things weren't going to work for them. No wonder it's so vibrantly colored, you used about 500% as much as you were supposed to and there wasn't any actual water to react properly! The crumbling concrete planter definitely has "a look" but I imagine pieces are going to keep falling apart, and the Razzo funfetti planter is really cute. Also WOW those sweaters look so good! Really nice job on the wraparound landscape and color choices there.

[@emi9643]

far more than 500% that bottle of liquid dye is good for almost 200 pounds of concrete, they used like one ounce which would have been enough for like 20 pounds. they should have used like a few drops, its very potent stuff

[@ThatRPGuywithtoomanyOCs]

Kinda a bad look for a DIY channel, honestly. I love the pair of them and find them so charming, but even a novice DIYer knows to read the dang instructions on something.

[@emi9643]

@@ThatRPGuywithtoomanyOCs nah youre bring too critical with that take. experienced professionals occasionally skip reading instructions because of overconfidence, and novices regularly just dont think about it. its honestly a good look for them because it makes them real. any beginner considering doing a project like this can look at "professional" DIYers like this and feel a little better if they mess up because everyone makes mistakes sometimes

[@willb.383]

Yeah, the cement never had a chance to cure because the dye didn’t contain enough water and then the parchment paper absorbed whatever water was present which is also bad for curing.

[@fynn2350]

I mean, they did point out just that when analysing the failure and it's a second channel video, using materials that are not their regular ones. I guess for main channel content, they would have done a second round with the dye, but for this one I think just pointing out it was a user error and then letting it go is fine in my book.

[@duck_cult]

I think if u add realistic fake moss, some fake vines etc the concrete one can be soo cool! also some rusty parts? amazing but the funfetti one is cute aswell!

[@thehudsonforge71]

I NEED TO SEE THE PART TWO!!! Y’all have to make the full table!

[@clarewillison9379]

Plastic sheeting is usually best for covering drying concrete. Won’t stick like foil, won’t absorb the water like parchment and will keep moisture loss even as it cures (though cracking isn’t an issue here obs). I like the look of the Razzo, presumably they’ve added plasticisers as it didn’t stick to the foil. Nice colours as well. I wish they’d made this > ten years ago, I could’ve had a colourful kitchen floor!

[@csn583]

Yeah that was very likely a moisture problem far more than a dye-overdose. Same reason the edge of the Razzo was crumbly.

[@MaverickJackJohnson]

Ya'll could always make a mold to set in/around the cement one, and then fill it with clear resin so it's kinda like one of those secret wood ring things, but with stone and cement.

@@EvanAndKatelyn2 You're very welcome!! 🤗

[@Teh_Spirit]

could be wrong since concrete is definitely not my area of expertise but i think the reason the concrete one may not have turned out as good is because the cured concrete bits probably sucked up a lot of the moisture from the mixture, which i feel you noticed since you added some more water at the latter part of the pour which is possibly why the top or rather bottom part looks better, so perhaps soaking them slightly before mixing them into the mixture could work better on future attempts

[@jessicabrigman8295]

i think there may be multiple ways to get the effect youre looking for. you can make the colorful pieces and do it mosiac style, set your coloful pieces where you want them and "grout" around them, then sand for a smooth finish. i also think you could just toss your colorful pieces on your mold (assuming its a flat surface) and gently pour your concrete/razzo over the top< once cured< demold and flip. sanding as needed. Also, if you are goint to re try the concrete< maybe making it slightly more liquidy< and pour in a bit at a time< tapping for a bit to get bubbles out then pour a bit more and tap again. im not sure if it would help. but in baking, you coat the thing you want to stay suspended (in baking it would be choco chips/fruit chunks. etc) in flour and that would help it stay suspended during the baking process. so maybe, coating the concrete chunks with more concrete mix before mixing it in wet concrete may help the pieces not sink?

[@clauslangenbroek9897]

That was fun! 😊 Two suggestions: a) You could try add white wood glue (pvac; it's acrylic and water-based, you should probably use a waterproof variety) to concrete to get a similar kind of mass as your sponsor product. b) You could mold-pour some resin to the failed pot and use it as a vase or something similar 😊

Fun experiment! You should try making your own white concrete base. Grab a bag of white portland cement and some glass sandblasting media to use instead of sand, try a ratio of 2 parts sand to 1 part portland cement, then you can add up to 3 parts of large aggregate (glass chunks, rocks, or whatever). Probably pick up a little liquid fortifier too so you can skip out on wire mesh or rebar.

And thus Evan and Katelyn discover that concrete is extremely finicky about all its ratios and needs to be custom calculated depending on the particular type of project, volume of concrete and distribution, and even the exact timing of when it can be poured - and that's before you even get to the complexity of try to add embedded materials.
