Designing a concrete bird bath

Anleitung No. 1873
Anleitung No. 1873     Difficulty: Beginner  Working time: 2 Hours

These noble looking water troughs delight insects and birds. The bowls are cast in concrete and decorated with different coloured muggle and mosaic stones. So the pretty watering troughs become an eye-catcher for your garden.

Vogeltränke gießen
Start by spraying the moulds with release agent. This makes it easier to remove the castings later

For the casting moulds, mix the concrete with a little water until a creamy mass is formed. For the large bowl use about 10 tablespoons, for the small bowl 7 tablespoons and for the bird 4 tablespoons

Fill the mass into the moulds for the shells, place the smaller casting mould on top and press it into the concrete. Weigh down the inner moulds. Let the concrete dry for about 12 hours. Now first remove the upper casting mould. Turn the other casting mould over and press with the whole palm of your hand on the casting mould so that it comes off the mould. Repeat this procedure for all castings. Let the casting blanks dry for another 12 hours.
Mosaik basteln
Muggelsteine
Spread some assembly glue inside the shell. Now place the Muggle- or Mosaic stoneson top of it. Mix something Joint Filler with water in one Mixing cup and spread it with a soft brush also in the bowl. After approx. 8-10 minutes binding time, wipe off Joint Filler the remaining stones with a damp sponge. When dry, coat the inside with Mosaic Joint Finish.
The Terracottapots are painted with Beton Color. Place some Muggle or Mosaic stones. With the mosaic stones you should put some Joint Filler use for better adhesion. When everything is completely dry, glue the concrete shell with assembly glue on the upside down Terracotta-pot and the bird on the rim. We have decorated the bird with Metallicpaint before.

To ensure that the bird bath is waterproof and can also be used, coat the mosaic surface with casting resin. Use the 100 ml cold glaze pack from our range, mix it 1:1 according to the product instructions and cover the mosaic as well as the surfaces that are to be waterproof with this transparent glaze. Let it dry out well.

This cold glaze pack, 100 ml is a wonderful starter set! With this amount of cold glaze you can try and experiment. The cold glaze consists of 2 components (resin and hardener) which are mixed in a ratio of 1:1. It is a thin and transparent glaze that can be tinted with resin tinting paint if desired. The cold glaze is resistant to acids, chemicals and alkalis. It adheres to glass, ceramic, wood, metal, Polystyrene, leather and textiles. While the glaze is very fluid after mixing and is suitable for impregnating textiles, fleece or glass fibre fabrics, the viscosity changes after some time, becomes viscous and can be applied to boxes or brooches

The result is a transparent, particularly scratch and abrasion resistant surface that has a unique depth effect and looks like enamel. The glaze offers different, beautiful design effects such as streak effects, drip/flow techniques and much more. Design the most different things with a special look

Tolle Wetterschutz-Imprägnierung zum Lasieren und Versiegeln von selbstkreierten Werkstücken.

Die lösemittelfreie, geruchslose Imprägnierung kann zum Beispiel auf selbstgegossenen und modellierten Werkstücke aus Gips, Beton, Karton, Holz oder Kreativ-Gießmassen angewendet werden. Das transparente wässrige Finish saugt sich in die Poren, imprägniert und schützt somit vor Feuchtigkeit. Je dünner die Imprägnierung aufgetragen wird, desto besser kann es in die Poren eindringen. Am besten mindestens zwei bis drei Schichten mit einem Pinsel auftragen. So haben Ihre Gießlinge eine dauerhafte Versiegelung und Schutz vor Schmutz und Feuchtigkeit, sie werden wetterfest und witterungsbeständig. Für diesen Lack ist keine Vorgrundierung notwendig.

Hinweis:
Bei Frost sollten die Werkstücke nicht draußen stehen.

Bei der Verarbeitung wird das Fugenpulver mit Wasser gemischt und kräftig durch gerührt. Anschließend wird die Fugenmasse mit einem Spachtel oder Holzspatel in den Fugen verteilt. Kurz anziehen lassen und dann vorsichtig mit einem leicht feuchten Schwamm auf dem Mosaik abwischen bis die Steinchen wieder klar sind. Nun muss die Masse gut durchtrocknen und die kreative Arbeit ist fertig.
