Handmade Concrete Cigar Ashtray

[Momo439]

Well it officially sucks that Puff.com is no more - so I guess I'm starting a new thread here.

Here are my handmade concrete cigar ashtray's - I'm going to set up a new discount code for 10% off for any fellow CigarBum'er as soon as I post this. Just sent a few out today - hope everyone likes them so far!





Two different "colors" - the lighter one is "Natural" and the darker one is "Charcoal". Hoping the member that offered to help with some pigment dye signs up here soon and messages me!

Well hello there! PM your address and I'll fix you up. I have some black, buff and terra cotta for your mixing pleasure. When you PM, please tell me the weight per bags and what product (I think Quickcrete if my memory serves me right) and the water requirement for the mix (it'll be in the instruction on the bag). I'll have to calculate the maximum amount of pigment ratio per mix you can ad. It's a bit on the technical side but in a nutshell, the maximum allowable amount of pigment per cement ratio is 10%. Now Quickcrete will not tell us what amount of cement is in their concrete mix but I can do the math and get to a reasonable assumption. You'll need a small kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients before mixing. In the picture bellow, you can see my last job. Custom textured slabs with 5% black iron oxide pigment, the same stuff I'll send your way. Other things you can do for colors is to use an acid stain, the results are unpredictable but dramatic
