How I casted my Concrete swords and wire cycler form.


Firstly I roll the wire up neatly into an cycler form then place in to see if it fits. Secondary I grab a small amount of clay to smooth out the back end of the hilt of the sword mold. its easy to change the forms shape to my will due to fact it isn't wholly solid.

Thirdly, then I mixed an thick (Greek yogurt) concrete and water filled subscene. Once mixed together then began dabbing the thick yogurt subscene into the form. However I would mix it in a paper cups, as to destroy any bowl or mugs I own or not.

Fourthly, add sand to a bigger bowel of which you'll mix the concrete-mix with water. First sand and the concrete powder then slowly adding water in small pours then begin mixing the mixture into moist black sand texture. Secondary get a spoon and get the amount that can fit that spoon. Thirdly dab the mixed concrete into the gelflex form until you get an near smooth surface. Finally add the wire frame to the filled mold and fill it again across the top of the form so no wire ends up showing.

Finally this is what it should look like once finished the process and don't forget to put a plastic bag over the form like an bin bag for example.
