Extra income with moulds

For the first time we are placing some small advertisements in Gardening Australia magazine for December, January and February issues for our new stepping stone and other garden moulds.
We have been receiving a lot of enquiries from people across the country wanting to use these moulds to provide some additional income or to save money on a DIY project.
I suppose this is a sign of the times with many finding it difficult to keep up with mortage payments and looking for a low cost way of adding additional income to the family budget.
We are hearing success stories from people making concrete or plaster product to display at markets,fairs and fetes. We will keep you posted on how this is working out.
Another way of saving big time is with our stencils to lay down those simulated brick and stone cement stencilled driveways and paths around the home. The reason the professionals have been able to charge 3 to 4000 dollars a job is because of the supposed necessity for the use of high cost hopper concrete guns but we have worked out a method that makes this unnecessary for the smaller home jobs. One of our customers is currently testing this out and is reporting great success. Stan Alderson

mosaic moulds

We have just added 7 moulds which will be suitable for making concrete mosaic pavers and table tops of various sizes. The mosaics are to be made by the indirect method which enables all pavers etc to be finished with a completely flat and even surface, essential for this type of mosaic.
Shortly we will be offering a range of glass tiles suitable for finishing the mosaic patterns which we also have available. These moulds are an interesting addition to our range in that they can also be used for making plain pavers or tiles by varying the pouring depth and colour oxides used.
To keep the prce down we are making them with 1 mm plastic which provides a sturdy useable mould suitable for hobby or low production home use. All moulds will come with instructions and later this year in kit form.
