[@CarvalhoCreations]

Aye! 😱 Thank you!

[@ddaniels6845]

Nice job. I live in a small house and have limited space for creating and storing the items. Keep up the good work.

[@CarvalhoCreations]

Thank you!!

@@ddaniels6845 u can never have enuff decor for the holidays. Do ur thing brother and trust me u will find the space 🤣🤣

[@RafaelNogueras-e6j]

That tombstone is on fire brother. I like the way u painted it 🖤💣💥🔥🔥

[@CarvalhoCreations]

Thanks man. Yeah just washes of paint work best for aging these.

[@RafaelNogueras-e6j]

@@CarvalhoCreations yeah it does. I like to paint my tombstones are still halfway dry. And sometimes I get a better effect with some polyurethane in my paint

[@CarvalhoCreations]

@user-qe5ou2je6i I haven't tried that yet. What does the polyurethane do?

[@RafaelNogueras-e6j]

@@CarvalhoCreations the polyurethane thins the paint and adds a seal onto the surface against moisture for the outdoors. And I noticed it really makes the surface hard . Especially cardboard

[@RafaelNogueras-e6j]

@@CarvalhoCreations I discovered that by accident when I didn't have PVC glue in the house. I was being cheap 🤣. And I used the remaining polyurethane in the house. It did a GREAT JOB.

Great job! 💀🪦

[@CarvalhoCreations]

Glad you liked it!! Whoop Whoop! Haha. Thanks for the like from Texas!

[@TheJoeFletch]

Great! As always! What's your paint to joint compound ratio for the monster mud? 1/4, 1/5? Or do you just wing it?

[@CarvalhoCreations]

Thank you!! I've used a 1/5 ratio in the past and that works fine but because I do so many projects I use 1 box of joint compound to 1 gallon of latex paint.

[@zes57]

What are the materials used?

[@CarvalhoCreations]

I used insulation foam, 2x4, 1/4" dowels, monster mud and moss.

[@larryblevins8078]

Head stones really old ones were carved out of Marble or Granite not cement.

[@CarvalhoCreations]

That's interesting. Thanks for the info

[@tony3879]

What type of foam is that?

[@CarvalhoCreations]

This is insulation board. Polystyrene
