Rock Glue

I didn't believe it either when I was told about it.  I went to YouTube to find out what I could. After watching several videos and hearing favorable reviews, I decided to try it.

The product is a little pricey ($34/32oz.) but, I was lucky enough to have an Amazon gift card. 

I'd also need a sprayer

(something else I'd never used)

I once again went to YouTube for instructions. After watching  an exhausting amount of videos I decided to try it.

Here's the problem .  Along the side of the house, grass had died and didn't grow back leaving a rocky  area that the yard man didn't want to weed with his weeder for fear that he'd break a window.  I was offered suggestions as to what I might do.

 Glued pea gravel was my choice. It would match the pea gravel I have in the flower bed.

The glue needs 24-48 hours to cure. Fortunately, I was able to get 24 hours without rain. The next few days were periodic rainstorms and I was afraid things might not stick.

As you will see below everything is still in place. I'd count this as a success. 

I'm waiting for lawn edging I ordered from Amazon to neaten up the edges.  (Yes, I waited until Prime Day before ordering.) According to users the glue lasted for about a year in low traffic areas. After a year they resprayed the area with the glue. 

That's it ***

 

Hydro dipping Part 2

I chose to remove the top edge of the plastic jar to make it more open.

I gave  the container a smoother lip using air dry clay. 

I've never used air dry clay before. 

Instead of using the silicone molds  I opted to simply mold the clay around the ragged rim.

Afterwards I painted the rim with acrylic paint.

Return of the Pretty Blue Pot-Ugly

 

I'd previously tried to decorate an azure blue, plastic, container into a decorative pot. Click  here  to see the post.

I decided to  give it another try.

I spray painted the container to cover up my previous painting attempts.

Silicone mold

That's it***
