Large fake amethyst geodes2/28/2024 I love just a spotlight when used in garden settings. Mark and drill out those areas if needed. In this step you will have defined were or if you piece will have lighting, a Bluetooth speaker or maybe house numbers etc. ![]() You can check to see if more is needed in areas that may be thin. Next make a thin batch and do final coat. ( Just stiff to the touch, but still damp). We will apply another thin coat after it sets for a bit.Īpproximately an hour. You can spritz water a little as you go to get concrete deep into the fiber. After the mixture is ready coat all the white areas. I’m using Woodland Scenics silicone collapsible bowls and silicone brush and spatula for mixing and spreading. Put about 1.5 cups of Sculptcrete in the bowl and gradually add in water and stir. Mist the entire Shaper Sheet Geode shell with water. You will need a spray bottle filled with water and your mixing bowl and brushes for mixing Sculptcrete. This process will require an area to let the cathedral dry undisturbed. Start by preparing your area to work with water. Once the desired form is created we can move on to the coating process. I roll the edges inward and flatten, this will add even more stability, but give us a nice edge to adhere our Jazzy Glass appliqués to, plus allow an area for painting the geodes matrix structure. ![]() It’s this fiber side that gives us the tooth, we need to attach and lock on our hard coat, in this case it will be Sculptcrete (a concrete, clay) The interior material is made from strong form locking aluminum, it’s properties provide the strength to our structure and hold it in place while our coating drys or cures. Feel better? Now let’s have some fun, unfold the Shaper Sheet and start to form it into the shape of the cathedral with the fiber side outward. Come on I know you have some pent-up aggravation, I believe it has been going on for close to a year now so give it a good scrunching. The material is 18” wide so this cut Shaper Sheet will yield a very nice large geode cathedral (finished piece is roughly 22” tall). Gather up these items from the supply list.
