Aragrocrete
 

has anyone tried to make aragrocrete off the GARF site? do you HAVE to use caribsea aragonite sand, or will any aragonate mix do?

if you've made any, do you have pics? :cool:

I made mine out of 5 parts crushed oyster shell from the feed store, one part cement #10 and one part water. I just ploped it into the mold and it worked great. It did take 4 month to cure.

What did you use to mold it

I just started by adding wet shell as the mold, building it up in layers. I used dry shell to make my caves and enterances. You need to power wash the shell out after and my need to use a stick very carefully.

I made the same thing and used portland cement 10 along with lots of oyster shells with th esand
it was very very porous. FLAT LANDER get have a positive affect on that one. I made over 75 lbs of it . Lots of corner pieces along with curves too.

If i can make it again i will once i get settled down from the divorce

i used press wood to make the molding s for the rock. any ways make the molds first,.
