we used to do this as well, but more like 350 to 400 sq ft at a time,plus we brushed on the oxide pigment into the silicon mold, we still colored our cement with the oxide dyes. Our mixes had 1/4" to 3/8" aggregate size stones, as well as fiberglass fiber added. Our admixtures were duracem and polarset. Duracem simply made the mix easier to pour and work with, the polarset just made it cure quicker, like in 1/2 the time. On any given day we would produce about 8500 to 9000 sq ft a day.. But then the "Housing Bubble" collapsed, and then that was the end of that! Buddy tells me that everyone showed up for work but found the doors closed and locked, and a note that said the GM would come to explain. 35 people lost their job just like that. I was smart and left for a new job about 9 mo earlier. The others didn't handle it too well.
Top man, you can tell how knowledgeable you are in this field. Given me the motivation to have a go and maybe set up a side hustle selling some ornaments .
You should! Its very straightforward and the learning curve is not steep at all :)
Ok super look; I’ve got 12 molds with color but haven’t started yet. This video is the most clear for me to understand, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
AWESOME tutorial!! Going to love being creative and experimenting!
Please do!
Enjoyed your video, exactly what I was looking for....keep them coming!!
Thanks, there are more to come!!
Excellent explanations and demonstrations. You're a true craftsman. Thank you.
I appreciate that!
I've been looking for just this information! Thanks so much for sharing it
Glad it was helpful!
love it!!!!! my favorite method was the 1st one i love how the black looks!
Thanks! Do you have suggestions for a next video you'd like to see?
Wow, thank you so much Vlad. I have been looking for this for some time now. You taught me so well and I'm really gearing up to do wonders in my house. Keep it up brother.
Glad I could help! Stone manufacturing is easier than it sounds :)
I can't get enough of these!
Thanks! There are more to come :)
ZThanks for sharing I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time and just didn’t know what all it involved you made it look very simple
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative, and you do a great job at explaining the process. I'm making flagstones using concrete mix and molds, and I've been wanting to add some streaks of green and reddish iron oxide to make them look more like real stones. Your video showing the "paint it in the mold" method is just what I've been looking for. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
That was a great video and definitely answer few questions I had. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I have been looking for the right caps for my pond wall. I watched both beginner videos and will make the molds up this weekend. I did not know about the difference between store pre-mixed and concrete and self mixed cement and sand. I will definitely self mix. Now off to watch the vibration table video.
Awesome! By the way, we also sell vibration motors and tables, not just molds- globmarble.com/concrete-stones/concrete-stone-making-equipment/
thanks for showing different effects to choose from
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, dude. Great videos, hope you get a lot of followers. Thank you!
Thanks man, I really appreciate it!
just the video i needed! keep up the work my good man.
Glad I could help!
Awesome tutorial. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Glad it was helpful!
Way to go Mr. smart guy I love it, keep going!
Thanks for the video, very informative with great examples!
Glad you found it helpful!
You are the first to show this in detail. Very helpful. Could you maybe show you to produce the lighter colors like tans? The rocks local to my area are very light in color and I would like to try and match those as best I can.
Thanks!! The methods are all the same, and we have tan colors available. The link is in the description :)
I mixed acrylic paints with a concrete penetrating sealer and it worked pretty well. Still had to add a clear sealer on top of it though, mainly to protect the finish a little more. It made some interesting looking countertops that are holding up pretty well so far. Epoxy makes an awesome concrete finish too, especially for countertops or floors.
That's interesting, I never heard of this technique. Did the color come out uniform, or were there light spots and dark spots in different areas?
@@GlobMarble Actually I was going for an exotic marble look. We used a fluid art technique (dirty pour/straight pour) to get the desired effect. The counters are doing well so far, they've been holding up to normal cleaning. I am concerned that the clear coat will eventually start to break down and I'll have to re-do it, but that's not unusual for concrete or stone countertops. I have hand painted cultured stone before. I've got about 30 or so molds that I use for different projects. I have not tested this mix on exterior applications though. Generally, when I'm painting stone I go for a non-uniform look to more closely mimic real stones.
Thats cool, I could see this being used for countertops, but it would be little too time consuming for mass produced wall stones. Could you send me a picture of the countertop at Sales@globmarble.com?
@@GlobMarble Yeah, I'm not sure how well it would work for mass production. Although, I don't think it would be much slower than painting the molds, it would just be after the stones had cured for a bit.
I'll have some videos up hopefully soon. I've got some pictures though, I'll be happy to send them over. :)
You are very clear in explaining I appreciate your video
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, that was a good tutorial with a lot of the information in one video.

Nice job I didn’t know about this technique with pouring concrete in silicone stone molds !I just got done installing 70 square ft of ledger stone behind a wood burning stove !Good video
Glad I could help!
Really awesome work bro, thanks for teaching us
Glad you liked it!!
Great video thanks for the walk through 👌🏼
Any time!
very clear - thanks for posting
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Vlad for the excellent tutorial! I cast a stone panel using the pigment painting method, but I think I picked pigments that were too different and I didn't think it looked natural, so I used a stain overtop and I think it looks better. I also tried the first method and really like that look especially after using sandpaper to scuff the edges to look more natural. I have to wait a few more days before I can apply sealant and then I will post my results. Keep making great videos!
Sounds great! The scuff marks will disappear after you seal but you can just scuff up the sealed surface again. By the way, do you mind if we post your video on some of our other social media platforms?
@@GlobMarble Thank you for the tips on the scuff and seal!
Sure you can post my video I don't mind at all! Your videos have helped inspire me to keep at making veneer even when I've made mistakes and been frustrated. So I hope I can give back too and help other newbies get over the challenges of starting out.
I have done a lot of DIY renovations to my house over the last 9 years so that inspires me to want to make more videos to help people learn some construction tips.
Great tips. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I actually found that information about comments affecting the algorithm to also be interesting. Great content as well! =)
Thanks!!!
Great work man, thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Excellent! I have already bought two molds. this information is very useful
Glad it was helpful! Do you have suggestions for a next video you'd like to see?
@@GlobMarble I would like to see an explanatory video of the Ledgestone mold LS 2001/1 and Stone Veneer Molds VS 101/2 .. I have in mind to make an investment in those molds, I would like to see the result and installation of the stones. Thanks Globmarble! keep in that way! greetings from Argentina!
Awesome job, thanks for inspiring me 😊👍
I'm glad you liked it!!

Well done and very informative, I am looking to make some freehand stone slabs for a water feature, moulds to retain basic shape only and then hand trowel end result. The colour techniques you demonstrated I will use to best advantage to achieve a near natural look.
Sounds great! Good luck!

Nice. I especially like the forms where you won't see a straight line when the pieces are installed.
Most of our forms are like that, only a few don't have the stepped edge
Nice work
Thanks!
