stone molds?

[kingc_79]

has anyone used the stone molds from www.strongmanequipment.com? I was thinkin of renting those and making my own, just wondering how it is. if it is hard or what. thats pretty much the only thing i can come up with is stones.

I poured my first one today.It wasnt really hard,but we'll see how it turns out.Basically all I did was coat the entire inside with wax,bolted it together,then poured the cement.Liek I said..we'll see.Im nerveously waiting to see how it turns out next week

how much are you gonna have to fork out for the concrete and everything that doesnt come with the molds?

I have a 300(305-315??)mold,and it took 3 bags,and about 1/4 of a 4th bag to finish it.I think they were $3.79 per bag.ALOT cheeper than what most guy's that make them and sell them,sell them for

cool, thanks alot. that gives me an idea of how much i'll have to spend for 5 of em. keep us updated on how they turn out please.

How long do you have to let them sit? Was wondering exactly how many stones one could make in 2 weeks...if they had 5 molds.

I was told 7 days

 

[kingc_79]

damn, so i could only make two sets of each one w/2week rental then.

i guess not...... but you could make 2 sets and sell them for enough to make a profit. i hope our agreement works well.

Did you use the concrete vibarator to get the air out?
