Amazing mold! This is a very strong and sturdy mold and doesnt bend when filled to the brim with heavy cement. The turtle stones came out easy with a little tapping. We used Quickcrete concrete mix, 4000 PSI and we reinforced it with shredded fiber glass that we bought on amazon. We used 12 dry rough cups of quickcrete (approx) and slowly dripped in about 4-5 cups of water while mixing it. We scooped it in and patted it down until all of the mold was covered. Let dry inside our house for 18 hrs before removing from mold. Then continued to let it dry for another 12 hrs. We are in Fl and its hot and muggy so drying in the AC is much more efficient. We reused the mold 7 times and it held up perfectly

Way better quality than expected. The mold is very sturdy and well made. I was surprised as I thought it would be a thin flimsy material and it's not. The turtle details are awesome. Came out exactly as shown! TIP FOR ARMS- LET DRY fully like 48 hours before taking outside. I was able to demold after 24 hours as recommended, but the arm broke due to Texas heat. I can see it was still drying in that spot on the inside. THE MOLD IS AMAZING AND IS AS DESCRIBED

I love this mold! It is very sturdy and well made. I have made three turtles so far and they have all come out great! I wipe it down with vegetable oil and they slide right out. It takes me about 16 heaping cups of mortar mix to fill them. I also use chicken wire to give them more strength and have had no problems with the feet or head breaking. I lay the chicken wire over the mold and cut it to shape so that there is wire throughout the entire turtle rather than just the head and feet. I wait roughly 24 hours before taking them out of the mold. I make sure to clean it right after I take the turtle out. My only minor complaint (and this has nothing to do with the mold) is that no matter how much shaking and dropping I do, I cannot get all of the air bubbles out. I’m sure I’ll be the only one that notices!

The mold is sturdy, nicely detailed. The instructional video was great, I like the technique for getting the bubbles out with a hammer drill. Only complaint is that there really should have been some mention in the details that they are sent from Ukraine, it took 26 days to arrive.

I've never made anything out of concrete before. My sister is really into turtles so I bought this mold to make stepping stones for her. I didn't know what to expect. This mold was very sturdy and after making 4 stepping stones, it still looked like new. Further, I sprayed oil on the inside. There is a lot of fine lines and texture to the mold. I feared it would not come out easily and it did! Not once did any part stick to the mold and not come out in one piece. Each piece came out super easily and in perfect condition! I was impressed. My sister, who received the gift last night was in tears, it was so beautiful! I used concrete stain and several layers of sealant to protect it, which is why it is shiny. This mold was well worth it!

High quality mold made out of thick plastic. Stones turn out just as the picture shows.

shape comes out perfect .mould is fragile and cracked on the side after few uses..Legs and head of turtle break off with use..I tried to use wire mess in the mortar but even then they still broke and hang losely

After a few attempts I got frustrated as the feet or heads were breaking off. It seems the issue was it was just too hot in Texas for them to set without cracking. Once I moved them inside to an air conditioned room and let them set at least days they came out perfect! The photo is the finished product after we applied a gloss sealer. We used a dark grey concrete color as these were a gift for a dear friend and they requested the dark grey color. Super happy with this mold, just temperature issues in Texas!

Très jolie tortue 🐢

Die Form wurde schneller als erwartet geliefert, dann gleich Beton gekauft und los ging das Experiment. Zum Einpinseln der Form habe ich einfaches Pflanzenöl benutzt. Bei den ersten beiden Versuchen brachen jeweils beim Herausholen aus der Form (nach 24 h Trocknungszeit) Kopf oder Bein ab. Inzwischen lasse ich die Schildkröte 3 Tage in der Form trocken und das funktioniert super. Nichts bricht mehr ab. Allerdings wird es wohl eine Weile dauern, bis ich genug Schildkröten für einen Weg durch den Garten zusammen habe.

Großartiges Produkt, Lieferung sogar 2 Tage früher. Das einzige das fehlte war eine Gebrauchsanweisung aber da ich über YouTube bestens informiert war, liefen die ersten Schildkröten im Akkord vom Band. Die Form vor jedem Gebrauch mit Motoröl auspinseln, zur Hälfte mit Beton füllen, die Form gut auslegen mit Hühnerdraht und unbedingt Baustahl in die 2 Vorderbeinchen geben, auffüllen bis obenhin, 24 Stunden trocknen lassen, vorsichtig umdrehen und schon kann man mit dem Bemalen beginnen. Macht Spaß!

Be sure to use a oil/spray on the mold or it will dry out and Crack.

Follow directions, perfect results
