Great job again dude. Using less water makes it stronger!

@doktor_faust 20 күн бұрын

A tip. Always screte it downwards. No need for unnessessary effort pushing up the weight. Also always start throwing the material on the top part first. It will go down by itself so always fill the bottom last. Let gravity work for you, don't work against it. Saves you a lot of time, energy and frustration.

@jeddrance6863 19 күн бұрын

Nah I would screed up , easier to fill in low spots without pushing excess and more to the bottom and putting it all back up top again and more screeding. Idk I’m no expert though either. I’d think too though definitely start throwing your Crete up top as he done for the most part.

@soulkobk 20 күн бұрын

you should get yourself some 'carpet roll tubes' (carpet business dumpster)... those cardboard rolls would be better to use than the pvc as the water pass-through, as you could leave them in place then. go to your local hardware shops and check the outside bins too, should be plenty of offcut lumber/wood. you'd be surprised what gets thrown out in to dumpsters. even pipes/coping/etc too.

Getting to watch the tags increase and add a lot of color throughout the video was really neat. I hope that folks stop leaving trash in that spot, it'd be such a great hideaway if the community really keeps it nice and vibrant! I need to be on the lookout for spots in my area

Mixing it on a tarp is probably the easiest way. Put the mix and water in the middle of the tarp and grab the corners/sides of the tarp and start pulling the tarp up and down. Way easier with two ppl.

@Galaxie_ivy 14 күн бұрын

@oliewray8357 I think it's a nice way to incorporate the community aspect of the space. Like. Having it be visible from one side. I think it would be a fun way to represent all aspects of creativity going on there. Plus it might look better than just a pure concrete wall.

@aleho1 18 күн бұрын

That mask is insufficient for the way you are mixing concrete. Most of the graffiti there is from kids learning how to do it, which is good they are practicing there and not getting chased by security or cops. tags are just the scribbles and one line signatures/name. (Usually at the bottom of a piece so you know which crew/artist did the work) If it has a lot of colour and dimensions, and thick lettering with detailed outlines, shading and highlights, it is a ‘piece’. if it is quickly painted with one coat of one colour like white or chrome or red, with a very quick outline in another colour (usually black), that most of the time is bubble lettering, is called a ‘throw up’ This new wall ride is so much of an improvement to the one next to it! 👍🏻 nice bro!

@@oliewray8357 no, I don’t really care what you wear, or what anyone else wears really… but if you don’t want to be sick later on down the track, just wear a 3M N95 mask. Which will stop any risk of the development of silicosis or scarring of the lungs from breathing in massive clouds of concrete dust.
