I missed how the rice/pasta salt makes it porous?

the idea is that after the concrete cures, the rice/pasta/salt decomposes or dissolves and leaves holes behind.

Good luck, Tony! Let us know how it goes.

I think I'm going to make preforms with the aquamend and then mound the mix of concrete/crushed coral/rice around it. Going to have a little fun with odd shapes

Hmm... aquamed would be an expensive mold. Tony, have you thought about superglue and dry sand. I think that's what I heard about someone else using.

 

[Gomer]

form ...think thin skeleton to form around, not fill in. . And it isn't that expensive Already have 10 tubes of it.

 

[LeviT]

Oh, ok that makes since.
