Well, this is just my first approach to blog-writing. I want it to be the way to keep in touch with colleagues and friends.

Formwork
Perhaps this process can be called casting indeed.
1. A mould is built out of lumber. Here I use units 2.5x10cm , 2.5m length.
2. A first layer of concrete is poured into, then rebars (10mm diameter) are dipped in. Finally another layer of concrete is poured until reaching the upper top of the mould.
3. I use no release agent: a higher level of roughness is expected, if too much I would apply a thin layer of mortar after deshuttering.
4. Left at least 20 days for curing. |
