The WS-LCS Log Cabin Vertical Stamp set of urethane rubber stamps duplicates the look of a log cabin. More

Stampable vertical verlays were developed primarily for contractors who hand-carved artificial rockwork, which led to polymer mixes that could be plastered on walls and hand-carved to look like unit masonry. Mixes made with cement and sand for that kind of work often developed shrinkage cracks, marring the appearance. This evolved into the development of small, hand-held stamps for creating rock masonry patterns rather than carving them. The material and the process is currently being used for “theme” concrete, insulating concrete form (ICF) wall surfaces, artificial rock work and trees, and swimming pool amenities. More

Concrete artists represent a variety of talents. Some creatively express themselves with a flare for a new tool or stencil system invention, some innovate with new concrete mix designs, and still others approach their work as multimedia artists. They bring an array of coloring agents, objects to embed in fresh concrete, or they develop layering processes for just the right visual effect. All bring a love of concrete and a spirit of adventure. More
