Sludge material peatmoss:cement=1:2 plus water , a little reinforced mortar bonding agent(liquid) and some dye as you like. 2.Mix 1 well and as hard as ear lobe. 3.Give a foam mold a coat of concrete bond with a pallet and wait for a few minutes till it gets dry . (Concrete bond is used because foams can't be mortared well. A pallet is used because the concrete bond is extremely sticky) 4.Give it another coat of reinforced mortar bonding agent . 5.On it attach the prepared sludge(No1) This should best be done with plastic-gloved hands. 6.Give it the texture of what you'd like it to be before it gets dry. Best luck! Tomtom |
