Garden Art and Statuary

Easily create beautiful concrete statuary and art works for the garden including benches, urns, planters, plaques, stepping stones, pavers, bird baths, garden gnomes and statues. If you are a beginner, the simplest method is to create a planter using wooden forms. More complicated shapes require the use of mold making materials such as latex, polyurethane rubber and silicone rubber. The traditional method of creating concrete garden articles is by using latex. Polyurethane rubber such as Por-a Mold has been available for over twenty-five years and though it costs more that liquid latex and requires a mold release it has become a popular choice due to a one-to-one mix ratio and a set time of a few hours. Silicone is also a good choice, but for smaller items such as plaques as it is more expensive than the other two mold rubbers.
