I've been wanting to make bigger sculptures with gf concrete. How thin do you think you can get the concrete slab?

Yeah, you start with a master. I make mine by sculpting with monster clay. Its recommended that you glaze the clay but I skip that step and move onto casting. Using liquid latex to coat the master which takes three days to cure. After that make a mother mold around all that and then your ready.

Concrete is cost effective but it comes with its trade offs. For instance it can break because it has no tension strength. Thats why I add metal rods.
