- With this video I show how I use a hose to create natural looking color patterns in faux rock. Simple and effective! I use high quality exterior latex house paint and a water hose to direct the paint flows over and down the rock surfaces.

Hello, I’m going to attempt to built a concrete pond. Do you seal the paint with something to stop it from peeling off? Particularly rocks that are partly submerged? 😊Thanks from London, UK.
Thanks for the question John! Ya, I never seal my painted rockwork. Other rock guys do but I just use high quality exterior latex house paint. FYI submerged rockwork doesn't peel if it's a biological pond, (has plants and fishes). The paint does fade, (not peel) when in people pools that have chlorine in them over time. But for your pond build the easiest way to do that is by using a pond liner, (rubber EPDM or other type of water proof material) over which you can apply concrete. You can also build ponds without any concrete but I like concrete because it protect the liner and makes getting in and out to clean it easier. This video shows an example of this strategy, (concrete over rubber liner): czcams.com/video/JKYnssK_whQ/video.html No faux rockwork was used on this project other than a little paint on the pond shell itself which in short order gets totally covered by algae. To learn more on pond building and rockwork you can download free pdf files and/or look into getting some of my other content to help you with your project if ya like. See: davehenderson.podia.com Anyway, I hope this info helps and good luck! :)
@@DaveHendersonFakeRockVideosthanks so much for the reply…very appreciated. All the best from London.
Do you mind sharing the type of hose nozzle and paint sprayer you are using in this video? Great job.
Any one will work with it's working properly but I use a metal one from Home Depot. www.homedepot.com/p/Gilmour-Metal-Pistol-Nozzle-with-Threaded-Tip-573TFRHD/205886154 :)
Thank you for your excellent video.
Could you please tell me what kind of paint you use?
How do you make the paint?
We use exterior high quality latex house paint. I dilute it down a bit then spray it on. Have have other videos of me painting stuff so click around to find em...

Like 71.. 👏👏👏👏
I tried this and often it seems like all the color washes away and find myself coloring it again. It may be the colder climate up in Oregon compared to California that it does not dry up as fast enough and just runs off. I played around with a blow dryer and that seemed to help. Just been experimenting and practicing. Definitely a skill in itself.
Yes, the misting does rinse the color away if to much water goes on. Just gotta use less or try a pump spray bottle with water instead of a hose. :)
Mate I’ve never done this, BUT I have spray painted for 25 years. Going to do my mates pool tomorrow thanks, I’m personally going to use a sponge too! Thanks for knowledge mate.
Can I get those hand plastic paint holder “aerosols” you have from Home Depot?
Thanks for the kind words! And good luck with your pool coloring! :) On the sprayers, I don't get them at home depot but instead a contractor supply store. But any good quality hand pump sprayer should do. For more cool fake rock how-tos, including free pdf downloads and more try davehenderson.podia.com.

How can I make my slide more smooth cause I feel that the sun made the surface hard n not slippery
I coat my slides with an epoxy first then a polyurethane the following day. I get the products from www.westcoat.com. contact them for a distributor and tell them what you're doing and they'll recommend what you need and instructions on how to apply it. Good luck!
Interesting. You prefer those to stains?
Hey Eric, yes, acid stains are great in that they penetrate the concrete/mortar providing a more long lasting look. The problem is they have a limited color spectrum that also can't lighten rockwork. I do use them for pond basins and stream beds none the less at times. Anyway, high quality exterior latex has been what I use...

Thanks for the question and best of luck to you. :)
@@DaveHendersonFakeRockVideos do you seal them with anything after painting them?
@@ickysan dont3 use sealers because in the past they made my rockwork too shiny and possibly more slippery. But I know other rock guys that do seal their work. Just get the best quality product, (commercial grade) you can if you do choose to seal stuff. 👍
@@DaveHendersonFakeRockVideos Thanks!😊❤
Can you you just hand carve hot tub?
Yep, can carve ANYTHING! Just need to build things in a long term correct way... Lots of cool free content & MORE at davehenderson.podia.com. Blogs & links to other platforms are at www.daverhenderson.com. Anyway, thanks for the message. Have a good one! Cheers, Mr. Dave :)
@@DaveHendersonFakeRockVideos Great thought of using the same 10 bag mix I used before on a wall to hand carve the hot tub entirely. Ya'll ever did hot tubs?
Yep, done a few faux rock spas..., lotsa fun! 👍😎
@@DaveHendersonFakeRockVideos Ya'll got any videos of the plumming? LOL
