Post #2042205

3 week ago I made a low bowl, or so I thought it would be. Was gonna move it and I cracked it and broke off a BIG piece.
A friend of mine whom I told about Hypertufa asked how my project went... I showed him...angry with myself for cracking it
He works with concrete and mortar so he just sai to smack it together with a little HT and let it set. So I did.

Well it worked and after a few days I could safely turn it upside down to get the visible scars fixed at the bottom
Got this bright idea to "why not put feets on it" while I am at it. Three plastic cups filled with tufa and smacked them on. that was two days ago.

Yesterday I took the plastic cups of to fix so the surface was a bit more rugged. YAYYYY why not build up the edge i bit ! rotflol... soooo I did
