DIY Path Maker Mold

Fantastic product! We used and abused it! A couple of tips... *use baking spray to oil them before pouring concrete. *if you want to use your mold more then once for the day buy instant drying concrete. *make sure you smooth over each top down to where you can see the black outline of the mold. If you don’t do this you will get weird tops on the molds. *make the concrete as watery as possible. It makes for smooth tops. *To make a turn we filled in the gap between 2 of the molds by using a piece of wood so the concrete did not leak out. Creating another block.

I was very surprised of how easy this posture corrector was to use. It has helped me lower my back pain and it forces me really keep posture straight!!! The cool thing is that you put it on, pull the strips to your desired strength and velcro them. Thats it! Ive been able to notice how Ive been so used to bad posture that i even develop a wrong posture to breath. Ive been using it every day and i am Very happy!

I love this stone walkway mold. It is so simple to use. Each side has either an “out” or “in” pattern. Simply match your next section so it interlocks. Turn your pattern 1/4 turn each time to achieve a more random look. Curves are simply made by aligning the mold to the last poured section, pressing the mold down, remove mold, and remove excess concrete. To make sure these look like random stones, use a trowel to smooth out the sharp edges. I have used both soil and gray-colored mortar to fill in the spaces between the ‘stones’.

I decided to use these forms then fill the cracks with sand. Instead of trying to make a cement slab outside the door to my corridor. They are a tad bigger than what I had anticipated but that’s a good thing. This was my first time using these forms. I only had one issue with the entire project. The issue I had was with the concrete. If you plan to use these and you’re not a contractor or similar, definitely consider buying an attachment for your drill so you don’t spend thirty minutes just mixing the concrete. Other than that, I didn’t have any issues. I highly recommend these forms for anyone looking to create a path, walkway, or whatever, these are your “go-to”! A++

I accidentally discovered these concrete molds when one of our neighbors sold one in the local classifieds. I was intrigued and just had to try one as we have been planning to do something about our patio pretty much since we bought our home about five years ago. I gave it to my husband to test and yesterday he finally got around to giving it a sample run. We really like the result and how easy it was to use. Plus the potential to customize the pavers to suit your needs. So we are pretty excited and will create a garden pathway before winter approaches. And finally, resurface our plain and ugly cracked patio.

This was the best purchase to make for my grassless pool area. It was very easy to use and it came out beautiful. It does take time however I wish I had purchased 2 more. The process itself was quick but I only purchased 2 however, 4 would have made the project quicker. But all in all, I was very please and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to add a personal touch to their outdoor area.

This works well. We had some user error, not rotating correctly, but I am still happy with how the patio is coming out. The product itself is great! We need to fill in the gaps with some polymeric sand and then we will be done.

These are fun to use, we are making pavers for our patio extension. An 80-pound bag of Quikcrete makes 4 pavers. We read other reviews that said to use a mold release or non-stick cooking spray and remove the molds after about 15-20 minutes so we took that advice and it has worked perfectly.

The first day I wore this product, it caused my upper back to have a weird feeling but it is due to your back straighten out. I don't have a big upper body, and the straps were fine to tighten. It helps pull your arms/shoulders back so your upper body doesn't slouch. If you sit down in your chair with bad posture around middle spine, this won't help much. However, it keeps you conscience about your posture and you'll be more aware to sit straight up. Overall, for the cost of this product, I think it works nicely to help you fix your posture. It still takes effort, don't think this will magically cure you of having a bad posture. Even when I take off the back posture corrector from wearing it for 1/2 the day, my body and mind tries to fix my posture while I walk around the house.

I got it specifically because I had some problems with my slouching shoulders, and them looking much broader than they actually were, and needed something that would eventually fix them. It did that very well! It wasn't very comfortable for the first day (I wore it continuously for 10 hours), but the second day it almost didn't hurt at all. After nearly a week now, it feels very comfortable and supportive of a more natural posture, and shoulder discomfort that I had previously is gone! I sleep much better now, and some problems that I didn't think would go away did (I had a protruding collarbone on my right shoulder that's settled back in where it goes, which feels much better). I even bought another for the family, since they wanted to use it too! Definitely recommended!

So originally I purchased this for my self just to try it... well my girl took it and pretty much Kept it and now it’s hers lol... she loves it! She says it really helps her not to hunch. You can still kind bend your back but it’s like a reminder to stay straight! She likes it so much she wears it while working out on her elliptical!! She says it’s easy to put on and easy for her to take off.. it’s been a little over 2 weeks now that she’s had it and she believes it real helps. Four stars for not having a family packs or couples set, so I wouldnt've share it lol

I love that this is adjustable so as your muscles relax and strengthen you are able to make it tighter. But it's also great when your starting to not pull your shoulders back. I believe this sets it apart from other products like this. This really helps take strain off my upper back and is helping my back to be straighter. It's not a one time use it and everything is corrected product, but it does help you work towards a straighter and less sore back.

Immediately seeing results. I tend to slouch a lot whenever I work at the office. From all the pain, decided to try this out under my blazer. I can feel whenever I slouch and it's been a few weeks and can immediately see that my back has improved!! My brother also has used this during the weekend! Awesome product!

Great size and easy to use. Making a pathway from our driveway to the house and it couldn't be easier. Ordered 2 more (total of 3) to make the work go faster. Btw an 80lb bag fills the mold 3 times perfectly. We let the concrete set for about 8 minutes before we lifted it when it looked dryish on top and moved to the next. We were able to use the whole bag before it set doing it this way using quickcrete. I was able to do the whole job with a baby attached to my back.

We purchased this mold to redo the patio in our backyard. We were all set to start & then it snowed! We found that this mold makes a great pattern when we used it in the snow when playing outside with the kids. I love the pattern it made in the snow so can’t wait to get our patio done using this!

I am very impressed with this stencil. The plastic it is made from is very strong. The pattern itself has a nice random look to it, but fits perfectly with the other side of the mold so that everything looks cohesive. This was a really good price compared to some other molds I have looked at, and I am so glad we made this purchase. I think it will last us a good long while.

It works very well. So why 4 stars? It's a bit uncomfortable, especially if you have to move your arms around a lot. Would love to have it in a softer model.

You do have to fill this and remove it and fill it again and remove it on and on until you make your walkway. It will take some time but it will look nice. The mold is nice and sturdy and the cement will slip out easily.

Made of thick sturdy plastic. Easy to use. Some reviewers said it's smaller than they thought, but if they actually read the specs, they would've known what they were getting. Based on reviews, I did buy 2 which I also recommend. I was able to do 2 molds with 1 60lb bag.

Building a walkway or patio is simple with this form. It’s not super fast if you only have one form. It makes a nice pattern when put side by side. The form is made of sturdy plastic so it can be rinsed and re-used over and over again.

Very good purchase, you won’t regret! These form worked great for us and fast! It was very fun to build a project with the form and I know the form will last through future projects. Make sure to wash between uses to keep the concrete from drying. You can use a wet sponge to remove the mold and keep it clean.

I'm using this for my backyard project. Going to end up paving my entire back yard area. They are coming along great. The only lengthy process is mixing the crack-resistant cement, pouring it into the molds, and packing it in so that it fills the entire mold section and doesn't leave gaps. Once I let it sit for a few minutes, I simply lift the mold up after lightly tapping and shacking the mold to free the concrete, then I hose the mold off of any concrete that has stuck to it and ready for the next batch. The mold is thick so it is very durable. Just be sure to alternate the patter by turning the mold a 1/4 turn each time you lay down the mold. I really like this mold and I'm glad I bought it.

Ok – I’m a girl with no ( none, nada ) previous experience with working with concrete – and these things are super easy – I bought the quick crete- it was like 4.35 a bag and I did it! Soooo I bought 2 molds and 4 bags of concrete and made about 10 feet of wall way with it ………. I added a little water on top to make them smoother and I sprayed the mild with PAM cooking spray to release it and sprayed them off each time !!! I’ll add a picture – they aren’t perfect but it was fun and I learned a lot! Gonna go buy more concrete!

1 90 pound bag of cement is enough for 3 molds. I let the cement set for 15-20 min then removed and continued with the rest. Worked perfectly! I`m really happy with this order!

Nice pattern for the walkway. I might opt for one with larger blocks next time but that has more to do with taste. No complaints about this paver system.
