Something for you try next time if you're interested. Use rubber tires instead of the blue buckets to hold the molds. Once they're full you can stand on the tires with your feet on either side of the mold and bounce/rock all the air pockets out of the concrete so it settles out nicely. Makes for beautifully smooth finish and super strong stone. Great video Al!

This would be a good situation for renting a pencil vibrator (typically used for consolidating grout in masonry walls). That would be more than adequate for getting the air pockets out of a stone and give a very good consistency and reduce honeycombing issues.

Definitely the right tool for the job. The only thing to be careful of is not over-vibrating. Many a masonry projects have been ruined by vibrating too much. Those devices are incredibly efficient and do the job quickly. It's not incredibly difficult stuff to learn though.

Hi Al, thanks for sharing your casting experiences. Just a thought: have you considered using inflexible grade bolts with a few graduated flat washers on each side instead of plastic cable to ties to fasten your mould with together tighter?

thank you was curious about the hybrid molds

Awesome, awesome video! Thanks! I've been thinking about making a couple of atlas stones. I think the decision has been made!

A week in the mold ? Wow! I made some once with the hybrid type mood but I took them out after 24 hrs. Then I let them sit for about 1-2 weeks and sprayed them with the hose regularly. They ended up being super strong.

Amazing video man.

Omg look how small she is!! Cutest puppy!!!

great video!!

Pro tip for the hybrid stone molds, zip tie all the holes to align the mold, then drill more holes in-between the existing ones to create a tighter bond. That is if you don't have the money for slater molds. Cause a 12" slater mold is 120 dollars after shipping. A 12" eBay mold (which works well) is 85 after tax and shipping.

I love that lil white and gray pup!

I'm sort of a concrete guy and I never thought of using silicone spay as form release, thanks for the tip. If I dont have release oil, I usually use vegetable oil but its pretty runny. The hybrid stone would of held together better with washers nuts and bolts.

nice video really helped me

@28:28 The nub at the top. When the concrete is still green (not fully cured after de-molding) take a brick or a large flat stone and rub it off like sanding a piece of wood. Much easier than waiting until fully cured. The same can be done on protruding seams. Also you can remove the mold after 24 hours. I wait 48 myself just because I feel like it..

Crack-Resistant Quikrete (orange bag) has the fiberglass fibers already mixed in. Another option to try.

Fun decorations.

What also works good for vibration is just getting a piece of 2x4 or a stick and ram it in and out of the hole while you're pouring it. Best thing would be to have a concrete vibrator but not everyone has one of those lying around. Similarly to making the mix too wet, you have to be careful with a concrete vibrator because it will shake the stones to the bottom of the mold.

your puppy is awesome
