How to Make Pavers:
1) Start by having a clean mold ready and concrete mix ready
2) Mix concrete with water until the mix is ready to be used
*You can tell when the mix is ready when it has been thoroughly mixed and when you squeeze it, it still has a structural form and doesn't feel thin and soupy due to too much water
3) Insert mixed concrete into molds
4) Shake or vibrate the concrete mix so it settles into the mold and air pockets begin to be released.
*The more vibration, the better, especially if done by hand. Air pockets should start being released from the concrete, this allows the concrete to flow into the molds' etching and corners. This also allows the texture to be very smooth as the cement settles to the face of the mold.
5) When finished vibrating, set paver aside to cure for 24-48 hours
*Cooler temperatures take longer to cure. When setting mold with wet concrete, make sure it is even with the top of the mold so when it released, the paver is leveled and straight.
6) Once concrete is hardened and properly cured, release the concrete paver from the mold.
* Releasing the paver from the mold can be done by lightly snapping the sides of the paver off the mold, then lightly tapping the paver mold upside down on each side until the paver can slide out freely from the mold. Don't force the paver out, it can chip or damage the concrete as it is still fragile during curing.
7) Allow released paver to dry completely and cure. Curing time can take up to 4 weeks to FULLY cure. It is recommended to wait 2-4 days before using the paver so that most of the concrete can cure and develop its strength
8) Your paver is ready for use! Last step is to clean the mold for next time, this can be done by using soap and water, or using a thin pick to take any concrete left in the mold. If concrete build up begins to happen in the mold, simply using muriatic acid on the mold will clean it off and have it ready for next time!
