Soak old bedsheet linen into a mortar slurry, (add 1 cup of wood glue), and apply over the wire. Smaller pieces make it easier to flow over bends. Lighter weight, less cement and faster. You can also use chicken wire instead of the heavier more expensive stucco wire...

So funny this popped into my recommended, since at my new job I do exactly this sometimes. When it rains it pours--doing a big project we might be tying lathe for weeks on end--ouch! Our artificial trees are painted steel pipe and #3 bar, and we actually tie the lathe on underneath the bar. I'd recommend going to a smaller wire gauge for tying that smaller expanded lathe--that bit doesn't have to be strong. Once the concrete sets, the rebar and lathe are doing all the work. We use stainless lockwire so it doesn't rust between fabrication and structure coat. With that lighter gauge wire, a hook nose plier, and ironworker's pliers you can really work efficiently. I won't even make the bobby pins, just run the spool of wire from my belt like a rodbuster. It's also easy to bend the wire tie back once you twist it, so no holes poked in your concrete artisan ;)

These are serious faux rock techniques! I think I've watched them all. I'm looking to replicate 20 or 25 armour stones to be used decoratively to line my property on the roadside lot with cedars (where I can't have a fence - thx hoa) .... so I can't get 25 x 3 foot boxes or styrofoam, so thinking maybe hardware cloth form/ cement. And colouring just the top skim layer as to dye it all would be unnecessary. you've obviously been doing this for a while (!) and have tried everything under the sun! so many choices. Appreciate your knowledge and skill, and most of all the sharing. Wow impressive.. ( I still can't find a pool brush though, maybe its called something else.... my specks are surely to suffer. )

I'm a total beginner, but I think zip ties should also work for binding the rebar ? Would love to know. I definitely want to try your methods. I love the Styrofoam option. You can sculpt a little before you start with the cement. This looks like so much fun. I'm going to try this.

Yes, zip ties will work very well as well as bailing wire. Go forth, and have fun in the wide realm of synthetic Rock construction

@mikesen2320 Жыл бұрын

Heh boss. Thanks for the video. My only concern/ question is there anyway to strengthen the item from the inside? In other words, if you were going to place this by a pool/etc., should one consider adding aggregate, cinderblocks., etc to the inside of structure to give it some type of internal strength to prevent future cracking/ rusting, etc.. it just seems putting a coat of mortar over a lath and even painting and sealing it won't last in you normal everyday outside elements. Building a shell with no internal strength or "backing" just doesn't seem stable to me. I'm inthe middle of a pool waterfall rebuild and the installer basically took laths,, rebar, and shot Creted it. Now, 14 yesrs later, the cracks are there snd after removing some large pieces, the cavities that exist are bssically forcing me completely tear up certsin psrts. If the cavities were filled with aggregate, Blocks, etc., the crscks might hsve not come because the filling of the cavities acts as a support wall more or less. Also, if cracks did develop with internal support, then atleast it would be less remodeling since the internal structure is solid and adding lath,etc., would be easy. Whats your thoughts??

Two to one is stronger than three to one. The only problem is, it can dry very quickly and heat crack. There are many performance enhancements that one can add to a formulation and process fiber is one of them, so yes, I’m a big fan.
