Test 4 - Air Pack 2



I poured a little rockite first to seal the bottom of the mold to prevent leaks. Then, in a second pour, I filled up the rest of the mold.
It came out in one piece, and it stands on its own.

Link to the QuaDror article and video.
Next time I'll make it with a little more love and a lot less quikrete.
Orange study take II...this time the orange peels are placed on the top rather than bottom of the form.

DIY!



Test 3 - Air Pack 1

I needed to make the air pack water tight. I used bags and tape.



All the concrete sank to the bottom of the form. Must figure out how to keep it in the middle....

Test 2 - Acrylic

I inserted acrylic pieces of different sizes by wedging them between the formwork.
When I poured the concrete, it flowed under and over the pieces to fill the 2x4x4 box.

Final was a bit crumbly. I may have left it in the mold for too long. The mixture may have also been too watery,

Test 1 - Fabric

The intention was to have the fabric either shape the concrete or leave an imprint.
The ended up swallowing the fabric.

Fabric stuck in concrete.
