Step 4: Prepare Sikacryl® PowerSet Instant Concrete & Dispense Into Cone

Begin by removing the twist cap from the top of the cartridge and cutting the plastic film open below the metal retaining clip. Place into a standard caulking gun, attach the static mixing nozzle, and begin dispensing. Once a uniform gray appearance and consistency is achieved, dispense Sikacryl® PowerSet Instant Concrete into the cones and fill to the desired size. Please allow 1 hour for mold to cure prior to removing the cones.

Step 5: Creating the Concrete Molds

Fill the prepared cones with Sikacryl® PowerSet Instant Concrete by slowly gunning the product into the cones. Level to the desired size (do not go beyond the rim) and get the product all the way in the tip. After 30 - 60 minutes, take the paper carefully off of the concrete ring holders. If needed, sand the bottom of each ring holder to make them level.

Step 6: Masking & Painting

Be creative and paint each ring holder. We used blue masking tape to ensure straight lines when painting the ring holder.
