The best thing to do would be to grease up your hands and lower arms with a thick coat of Petroleum Jelly, and then cover with thick gloves, but Jordan is a rebel. We also had a bottle of white vinegar that neutralizes the skin irritants in the concrete. You can wash you hands with soap and water 50 times and you wouldn't achieve the same results as one simple wash with white vinegar. Petroleum Jelly and White Vinegar are good friends to have when working with concrete.
@Arteolike our flat molds make roughly 2 square feet of stone veneer at a time. If you were asking about the dimension of the mold itself, it is 18" x 24". Thanks for watching.
Very interesting, I just saw the older video that use 2 colors of concrete to make some color variation. I would like to know the disavantage and advantage of this old method vs this one.
Nice instructions that I found useful except the bit about mixing the concrete by hand, which I did after applying Vaseline. I thought it'd be good to get a feel for the material, and the right dry to water ratio since I'd never worked with concrete before. Word to the wise: Unless your hands are already tough, use gloves! And despite cutting my nails down, the stuff still gets behind them. And the concrete made my skin sore from the mixing and very dry.
What about like the ledgestone panels. Can u make a video showing how to add color variation to the rocks using the panel mold since it's one large rock in essence rather than several little rocks as in this video. Thanks.
thanks! I been doing my stones colors wrong :s I see you put a lot of color, will practice with this technique you do not have techniques to paint veener stones? or any page where you can learn coloring techniques?

Great straight-forward tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to show the process.
Good to know. I mix thousands of pounds of concrete in a wheel barrow. I never thought using my hands. I always use a tool.
Thanks
you are great....thank so much for teaching us...here Alejandro fron Nicaragua in Central America . Greetings
@Arteolike that is correct. $70 for each of the flat molds that makes roughly 2 square feet of stone veneer at a time.

Thanks for watching. This was a premix that had pea gravel and sand.
