Thank you for sharing, it covered everything. Two suggestions. 1st, about staining vs. adding the color to the water before mixing, I would say that the staining would not last and will require re-stain every 3 - 4 years (depending on the foot traffic, rain/snow/pressure washes). Adding the color within the cement will become part of cement pigment and will be permanent. You must add the whole 10oz bottle per 60 or 80lbs bag. You can reduce the amount a bit to get color variations but that's what Quikrete recommends. You can also buy the gallon stain of your choice (as in your video), thin it out and then add that to the water before mixing to the cement. That would be cheaper compared to $11/10oz color bottle. 2nd, a rough wooden leveled table (3X6 feet) will take out the back pain from the equation.
Thank you! Your video has given me some troubleshooting ideas for what I might be doing wrong with my pavers. My molds are totally different, but they do have a lot of detail that I've been having trouble with keeping from crumbling when I demold the paver. Each one takes about 40 lbs of concrete, and I think I've been rushing to take them out. Now that I have more than one mold, I'll try leaving them to set for a couple of days. It's very hot and humid right now where I live in Texas, and that may be why I've had a hard time gauging when it's time to demold. Thanks again for your help.
I used the Supercizer 5 Plasticizer from Fritz Pak in the same set of molds. Canola oil for release. With the fritz Pak product the pavers just fall out with no effort. With no plasticizer it was a struggle to get the molds to release.
I bought these exact forms they come from ukraine, I also have the same issue, it seems like 5 of 6 are perfect and 1 comes out with bubble issues or holes, what are you using to fill the holes?
Thank you for the demonstration! But is there a way you could post a finished picture after you fit them together on the ground? Wondering what it looks like as a patio or walkway!
Nice work man! You did a really nice job with those!! Thanks so much for the time you took to make this video!
This is the molds I am leaning toward, and this was exactly I was looking for! Awesome video! Thanks 🙏.
Thank you so much. I have the same molds and I feel much more confident trying to make these with minimal concrete experience!
Thank you! I have the same molds and excited about getting started on my walkway!

thank you: so much vital information.. good luck
Brilliant! I just ordered a set of these. Well done my friend.
I like the saw vibration. Great idea!

I really appreciate you going into such detail. I found your video extremely helpful. I hope you’ll show us the final result.
Thank you! Will do!
I have same molds so I appreciate your diy video. 😊
Thanks for the vid. Starting with the same molds. Thanks for showing how to coat the molds. Very much appreciate the info.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Great job! Lots of work.
I got the exact same molds. Thanks for your video/1
Did you experience anything issues with the top finish due to gravel stones in Quikrete? Any updates on how it all turned out? Please share.
How did your pavers come out when you laid them in your yard? Look like flagstone? Did you just put on sand? Did you concrete between them?
Very good video!

Do you have a video of the results?
Just bought me a set of the exact molds.
What would you recommend for form release?
I used plain veg oil.
Thanks
I used the cheapest cooking spray I could find.
Does it have to be quickrete concrete or can you use any brand?
I've only used Quikrete. I would imagine any strong concrete would work fine.
Can you make a square/rectangle path with these?
Yes, you would just have to cut the pavers on the edges of the path way.
just buy an all in one mold lots of designs on ebay amazon no need to do it separately

I will work on it for you.
@@easywaydiy9555 Thank you!
@@easywaydiy9555 did you ever get a chance to take a finished picture? I’m getting ready to start making these exact molds.
Update please
Does cement causes taning to skin or acne
I don't know the answer to that.
@RandomShart thankyou for the explanation
The water settles to the top because the concretes made of rocks and rocks don’t float
