This little th-cam.com/users/postUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.
To the folks asking where the mold came from, it came from the guys making this video. to the makers really and I thought your sink molds where pricey, you have a design that requires less then 150 bucks in concrete but you want 2 grand for the mold, yeah, I think I'll look into other ways of building a mold if I end up going this route.
friend, my congratulations for the work , I am Brazilian and I am trying to implement this work , but my English is not fluent , please help me , which product you use to polish the concrete?
My question is and i hope someone know the answer, is there any risk of toxicity in bathing in a Concrete Bathtub, or using it for a table-top? If so, is there any layer of treatment i can use to remove that potential? Even if it was just 0.1 toxic, i would like to know. I am grateful for all responses, while searching this on Google, which have gotten worse over the years as a search engine, they only send me to pages that is profitable to Google, not necessary what answer i am looking for at most exact.
Hi there You need to coat / spray Concrete with epoxy. I did my countertop/ kitchen island and the company I was getting epoxy SIKA recommended the one used in food operating businesses, like restaurants etc. It was approved and sage to handle food on it so I guess for the skin it would be suitable as well. Hope that helps
What sucks about this type of job is major hardware chains in my area do not sell anything for concrete molds, stencils for floors these past few months I've had to make it all from scratch with what is available. I recommend if you are going to do this, find supplies for this online. It's almost a conspiracy with these chain stores not carrying molds etc etc.
Having to warm up several hundred pounds of concrete when you want to take a bath?? Isn't this the safest way to secure that you never have a hot bath?
+Lars Peter Abildgaard I thought of that also. Would it be unreasonable to embed a heating unit within the casting at floor level that could maintain a desired temperature maybe even help ambient air temp as well?
Love how we see him making pencil marks and nothing else...so helpful

Honestly, this seems much higher quality and more fool proof. water proof and super easy way to make a shower...

making your own should be easy like paper mache with a rubber coat.
But how big is the tub?
Where'd the tub mold come from?
This is a way to small for me, I need to and half metres long, and one and half metres wide bathtub 🛀

Good idea, but you would still have to raise the temperature further... I don know.
Run a much hotter bath. Once the concrete has heated up, the water will stay hotter for longer.
Route your hot water supply around the concrete form in side the concrete. Or Add a hot tub water heater to circulate the water.
yea were did you get the mold from?
