  • Back in the day 1970’s when people wanted a “rock shelf” to hide the pool pump. We would build a frame to hold and access the pool pump. We then used whatever was about to make a base for the rock. Cover it with bird wire then, make a concrete mix adding various sized polystyrene pellets in the concrete. Sculpt the rock shape and powdering the surface with a coloured oxide. Let it cure for 7 days . Come back and pour petrol over the rock. All the exposed polystyrene would dissolve and there you are ….. a rock!

    • You could also use rock salt pressed into the outside of the rock after you finish sculpting it. Then you can wash it with water; a LOT safer than using petrol!!

  • I was taught how to make textures using silicone forms made off of natural rocks as transfer templets we could press into the wet formed rocks we were contracted to make. When done they looked so realistic that you would never think they were hand made. My teacher was the son of the man that did Disney's Matterhorn in Anaheim CA.

We recently have had the driveway repaved and have been looking at large rocks to put next to the corner to keep vehicles from driving over the edge. Rocks can cost a few hundred dollars, so your idea will be perfect for what we need. Thanks for sharing.

You mention adding glue I think with mortar mix & also you spray something on cardboard to water proof before add layers of mortar mix. I would greatly appreciate what those 2 items are. Thank you your attitude is contagious, Have a blessed day.

  • Looks great from the outside. Looks like a rock and a nice addition to the lawn area or the front of a property. However, shouldn't the bottom be sealed as well? Because eventually, water and humidity will get there and rot the cardboard which is basically paper. With all the work done up top, the bottom sealing should be easier so that its sealed from all sides and perhaps, last much longer.

    • Thanks for the positive feedback I do appreciate you watching my video. Been making rocks for 48 years now like this and we usually take the cardboard out but even if we didn’t, it serves no more purpose and it could rot fall out do whatever it wants. It’s not gonna hurt the rock. . Many people always have a lot to say about furthering the process but I would’ve done that if it was required, An old boy once told me “They only pay to do it once” I took that to heart and never forget it.

I utilize penetrating stains, and it cost very little to stain this way and it lasts and it doesn’t peel. Obviously we see all over the top of that to lock it in to give it UV protection.
