+lmullen56 lol bamboo rotting. Bamboo does not rot at all. Plus this concrete "fake bamboo" is going to be heavy as fuck. it does not have any metal structural support so it will break. I don't want to have to pay out for injuries sustained after someone gets injured after the concrete brakes and falls on someone.
+OnlineBackupServices Then why do all the experts recommend not allowing bamboo structures not touch the ground. Because they rot. ALL LIVING MATTER ROTS once they die, you idiot.
Good question - but one which is difficult to answer. It depends on the type of concrete used, thickness of the rubber, texture on the surface, etc. These are production molds. Rebound 25 has very high performance characteristics and should provide a lifetime of castings when handled properly..
This is really a great project. Could the panels have the colors mixed in, or does coloring after give it a better look? Thank you for uploading this video.
Smooth-On, I'm late to the party; How does it look, standing the sections on end using a single channel support beam, top and bottom? Like that bamboo pattern. -- What is the average workable time with the Rebound25 , example, 1 gal bucket , 1 man, 3 minutes or 5 gal bucket, 2 men, 3 minutes. How many cycles can you get from a Rebound25 mold? Noticed your guys were putting their weight into its separations. Thanks for the vids, super good looking product.
clearly you did not think before asking this Q. How long do you suppose bamboo will last as a fence? This is concrete, beautiful and different. Unique in its class.
Wouldn't the details have been even better if they would have created the grooves in the bamboo first instead of after the pour and scratching like they did? I would like to know how to create the bamboo color. Do you have any information on that or a link you can refer me to, please?
Why do you choose to use fiberglass instead of traditional/more alkali resistant reinforcement? It is well documented that fiberglass degrades rapidly in the harsh alkali environment of concrete. I realize that glass is "stiff" but what good will it be when it degrades to 50% or less of its original strength?
I like the detail and the concrete should outlast a bamboo fence, but I would really like any information on the sound deadening quality of this product. Would it make a good fence along the edge of a subdivision with high vehicle traffic? Truck traffic as well?
+phillip harden It should have a slightly better acoustic deadening quality then a flat GFRC wall/fence of the same thickness as the curves (if they face the sound source) will disrupt the wave pattern as it strikes the surface at different times. This will diffuses acoustic rebound and sympathetic resonance. That's the science bit. I don't know if CFRC has better sound absorbance quality than ordinary concrete, per se, but I suspect the fibres will act like air bubbles and give increase the insulation against heat and acoustic transfer you get with foamed concrete.
+snouty “the snout” snouterson the trouble for me is the guy spraying fiberglass concrete, and fiberglass resins and doesn't even have a MASK on! what's worse is according to the story they cast over 11,000 of these!
hi i want to make an experement like this so i want a tow barrel a and b of liquid rubber how mutch it cost including shipping to palestenian territory also spray pol -ease 2300 and 2650 release agent
Bamboo grow so f-ing quick, is sustainable, and is well know for it's quality and strength.. I'd still use bamboo instead. Concrete end up cracking and sh*t..
Los felicitó por su arte muy novedoso los felicitó por su vídeo muy intructivo les voy a contactar para ver si empredo con esta interesante técnica constructiva
Thanks for watching Alok Kumar. We do not provide moldmaking services, but we do have a list of moldmakers on our website: www.smooth-on.com/moldmaker/
very good this idea, the more you have seen a recyclable bob never seen more can see right now is only accesses recyclable bob on youtube and you will see this good idea.
It's incredible how these workers never wear a mask, even applying fiber glass!, it must be an unavoidable rule in this factory, this is owner's responsibility.
No its not...not in THAT company and likely not in that country! Never assume the nanny state will take care of you...get your own PPE and check that its not some cockamamie Chinese counterfeit. (got counterfeit cartridges for MY mask, and they were filled with toilet tissue! Grin! IF the company was about to get sued for damages to workers lungs, they would find the masks quick enough! But sadly, even where there are laws, who could afford a lawyer? I don't care for such working conditions myself, and would not run a factory that way.
Why is it the owner's responsibility. The employees looked like adults, should we treat them like little children just because they are working for somebody? They are adults, they can buy and wear a mask, quit or do as they are doing. It is their business and responsibility.
I've worked in many high end companies with fiberglass (among other things) and the only time they required PPE is when OCIA was coming to do a "suprise" visit
Its a good video. I don't think I would have made a fence that way...but the architect and owners were happy. They made it in a labour intensive fashion (employment is a good thing) , and the workers probably should have had better ppe...even a damp bandanna...but thats not the point of the video. This fairly expensive mold did a fine job, and I learned a lot from the video. Thank you.
That may not be the point of the video but it is a telltale sign that the manufacturer has little respect for the health of it's employees. A company so blind that it would proudly and quite publicly show how it endangers the lives of its workers - would you agree to working conditions such as these?
KM HU I DID say they could have used more PPE. Thats Personal Protective Equipment. I have worked in similar conditions, and made sure I had a dust mask at the very least, a respirator at best, and safety boots and glasses. So to your question....sure...providing I was able to somehow get my own PPE. Do you feel that the company is responsible for providing PPE?
KM HU you know I would bet this is in an underdeveloped country somewhere the guys working are probably very happy to be working and could probably care less about ppe. hell their boss may not even know it is needed.
It's sad but very interesting that you think working people in an "underdeveloped country" don't care about the impact of toxins on their long-term health... I guess that means your only concern is for the price of the products sent from the "third" to the "first" world: they must be the cheapest possible, so no unnecessary expenditures like PPEs. After all, as you say, these people are so lucky to be working at all, so what if a few die, plenty more where that labourer came from... What a perverted view!
In fact my attitude about such things is quite different than you seem to think. My comment was observation driven, and not driven by an underlying attitude of indifference to the fact that ppe is needed here. Your assumption that I care nothing about people in third world countries and that my lack of caring is consumer driven is offensive and downright wrong. In fact, the driving factors in which products I purchase have nothing to do with price, and a great deal to do with value. I buy things according to quality standards cheap crap made in third world countries has no interest for me at all. I will pay 5 times the price for something that will last me a lifetime rather than buy five or more of that same thing during my life. By the way have you ever been to a third world country and tried to talk about things like ppe . A vast majority of the time they laugh at you. You see people are going to do what they do. When the big concern you have is where your next meal for your children is going to come from you don't give a rats ass about ppe. If you think otherwise you have never experienced anything like that. Now go make uninformed assumptions about someone else. If you want to do something about this I would suggest buying some ppe for these guys and hopping on a plane and taking it to them they will either thank you of laugh at you. I would bet real money if you did; that two minuets after you leave they sell it for some food and keep on drawing particles into their lungs.
Both sides needn't be so thick - it could just be a cosmetic backing. Anyway, just because the poles aren't made to support another panel doesn't mean new poles can't be designed! :)
just a point on the detail, you guys should check out the Royal Festival Hall in London, close up it has amazing almost microscopic grain detailing all over, and that was built in the 50s.
If you want promises about strength, & durability look on the label of anything, and believe it. This is a thorough demonstration of the products capability. Careful you might learn something along the way though.
What about all of that over spray on everything? Won't that eventually build up to the ceiling of the building and then they would have to move to another building? I think about things like that.
Thanks for showing entire process, that was really interesting.
Spraying fiberglas+polyester resine with no masks... bravo!
yes, I noticed that too...
can you sale me some mold?
xemivaigfort jeu
Is concrete morons
Ricky Cruz GFRC - glass fiber reinforced concrete
Wonder how many cycles those molds can be used...
great video....But I worried about lack of respirators, really not good when working with glass.
how many pulls can you get from one of the molds pictured in the video? (using the same process shown in the video)
thank you so much guys for posting and sharing your thoughts.
for some reason this video was captivating.
Fantastic video. Thanks for showing how this is done. Seems like repeating this 11,000 times would take a good while!
Good job!
Just a little question: how many times you can use the same mold?
The concrete castings will not degrade or discolor over time.
With all that labour involved, would it not be much cheaper and much quicker just to put real bamboo fence in?
+DazzaBurns22 And then in 15 to 20 years replace the rotted bamboo fence with another bamboo fence?
+lmullen56 lol bamboo rotting. Bamboo does not rot at all.
Plus this concrete "fake bamboo" is going to be heavy as fuck. it does not have any metal structural support so it will break. I don't want to have to pay out for injuries sustained after someone gets injured after the concrete brakes and falls on someone.

+lmullen56 Yes.

Very informative video. One of the best! Thank you.
Wow really great idea what is size of post and do you have other video for casting post please
Can you send us a tech ticket? Our team can help you - www.smooth-on.com/support/ticket/add/agree/
Does the mould silicone not stick to the one part silicone between the bamboo pieces
This is really a great project. Could the panels have the colors mixed in, or does coloring after give it a better look? Thank you for uploading this video.
Wow that was incredible. Never seen anything like it. Well done!
Spraying fibre glass and resin with no mask? Nasty.

Thanks! Sorry about the late reply. Cycles depends on the mix being cast. Rebound has a 15 minute working time.
Thanks. Looks great.
No use saliya in concrete,can we get readymade rubber design like that if yes where we can purchase
We have a list of moldmakers on our website: www.smooth-on.com/moldmaker/
Bravo , l'Artiste un grand merci
great job
hi there, can I get cement post rubber mould
Very kool! Looks High Quality!
This looks excellent

What a great video ... I was edified!
Wow🤩 you can install it vertically right?
You could as long as an appropriate support structure was created.
No ppe ??
Why is there no respirators being used when spraying the fiberglass?
very cool fence
Really nice work
i think a living bamboo fence would be best...grows very fast and spreads...but must have a special root control trough?
Why do you choose to use fiberglass instead of traditional/more alkali resistant reinforcement? It is well documented that fiberglass degrades rapidly in the harsh alkali environment of concrete. I realize that glass is "stiff" but what good will it be when it degrades to 50% or less of its original strength?
And how much for 1 of that ?
Excelent job very profesional i like so much how i can get those fance in my house is hard to find people do good job like this video
That was quite impressive. Three miles of fencing made this way. I'll bet that took a good while to prepare all those panels.

Stunning fence very beautiful😘
me encanto lo vamos a poner en practica
I want to order 2 hundred and I want it by next year, what are my chances?

Zachary Pike Google has a translate link for your comment...
Cool! Thank you!
Why have you not used vytaflex 40?
they are using a polymerized concrete and did not want to use a urethane rubber.
Wow that was great. A fair amount of effort but the result pays off!
At $1 a day labor cost no big deal.
I would like to purchase the Moulds
We do not sell the molds, just the mold rubber.

Smooth-On how much the mold rubber?
Where can I buy a bamboo mold like this? I want to create an oriental garden.
Quel es se produit svp
the trouble is for me that it looks like a well crafted, painted concrete fence.
+snouty “the snout” snouterson the trouble for me is the guy spraying fiberglass concrete, and fiberglass resins and doesn't even have a MASK on! what's worse is according to the story they cast over 11,000 of these!

excellent
What is the name of the music that starts at 4:55 ?
Excellent product you have, btw
Nice concrete fencing! What does a fence panel like that cost?
This is awesome guys. Great Job! I would build a concrete halflog house with this.
It would cost you about 5 million dollars.
i would like to buy that mold if you are interested in selling it. how many you have i will buy.
Doesn't the crete have calcium in it? And wouldn't that have an adverse effect on the silicone after awhile...?
Great work
Thanks for watching, Carina Yang, and don't forget to subscribe for more how-to videos!
Muy excelentes trabajos con resinas
Bamboo grow so f-ing quick, is sustainable, and is well know for it's quality and strength.. I'd still use bamboo instead. Concrete end up cracking and sh*t..
fiberglass on the concrete would prevent cracking, bamboo can crack too
fiberglass is the best
No entiendo!? Para q isieron eso??? Alguien q me explique?
nice!...didn't know this existed.....cement won't crack because of the fiberglass reinforcing and because of the type of concrete used
You can tell those guys take pride in their work

Perfect for Disneyland. Anywhere else, not so much.
what??
+Jamie Walker Because one side of it looks like garbage, I'm guessing. I don't see why you couldn't put two facing opposite sides, though.

Those guys should wear mask when spraying fiberglass.
would have liked the bamboo fence, that is some strong stuff!!
quanto custou isso?
NICE
need a close up of the finished fence to show texture.. arrg.
Thanks Rick, We'll send this suggestion to our video department.
Why wasn't the SuperSeal applied to the bamboo first?
The bamboo was previously sealed with a water based sealer.
Damn your company makes such cool stuff. Aaaaaaamazing
Superb!
i really dont know why ,, but i have cheked all this video ,,
Não vejo praticidade nisso. Muito trabalho pra produzir as peças e muito custo. Qual a vantagem?
If you want promises about strength, & durability look on the label of anything, and believe it. This is a thorough demonstration of the products capability. Careful you might learn something along the way though.
I need this
some metallic epoxy as a finish and you have a pretty groovy fence. impressive
What about all of that over spray on everything? Won't that eventually build up to the ceiling of the building and then they would have to move to another building? I think about things like that.
love the music at the end of the video
