Flower Pot Mix Recipes
REQUIRED MATERIALS
1. Mold support:
- a plywood board;
- wood screws;
- sand.
2. Assembly:
- M8 hex head bolts with washers and nuts
3. Mix composition:
- 8 liters of water;
- 1 bucket (10 liters) of white cement (we recommend Holcim Blanco Plus);
- 1 bucket (10 liters) of marble powder;
- 2 buckets (10 liters) of 4-8 mm marble aggregate;
4. Reinforcement (optional):
- a handful of polypropylene fibers for mortar and concrete (we recommend Sika);
5. Cleaning:
- water;
- white vinegar.
6. Mold release:
- Decofrol
7. Painting
- Colored gloss enamel paint (we recommend CasaBella);
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Mold preparation:
- wash the molds with water and make sure they are clean;
- fasten the two side sections of the mold together using the bolts and nuts, then attach the flower pot insert, carefully following the alignment marks on the mold;
BUILDING THE MOLD SUPPORT
- To prevent the mold from deforming under the weight of the concrete, fill the flower pot insert with sand and place a plywood board over it. Secure the board to the mold using wood screws.
2. Material preparation:
- first mix the polypropylene fibers with the cement, then add them together with the water, marble powder, and marble aggregate into the concrete mixer and mix thoroughly.
- place the mold coated with Decofrol release agent with the opening facing upward, then pour in the prepared mixture;
- allow it to dry completely for 24/48/72 hours, depending on the outside temperature: 24 hours in summer, 48 hours in spring/autumn, and 72 hours in winter (indoors if the room is unheated).
- once fully cured, remove the wood screws from the plywood, turn the mold over with the flower pot facing upward, undo the bolts, remove the side mold sections, and then carefully remove the flower pot insert by pulling it out little by little. (If it does not come out easily, leave it to dry for another day. Do not pull it out forcefully all at once, as there is a risk of breaking the pot.)
- leave the flower pot to continue drying in a vertical position until it is completely dry.
CLEANING
Fill the molds with water and white vinegar, then use a soft sponge to remove all residue.
PAINTING
Once the flower pot is completely dry, paint it according to your preference.
WARNING! The mix composition is intended for one full concrete mixer batch, not for each individual product.
