  • This is the email you sent me: eds05malibumaxx@gmail It is not recognized.

  • I was wondering if I could use Styrofoam peanuts instead of the beads. for the cement mixture since I can't find the beads.

    If I use the peanuts would I use the same 3 to I mixture?

    Would appreciate your input. Fred

  • @torpedoxke  Sure. Go ahead and use them. Just cover the rocks you make with at least a 3/4 inch layer of sand/cement mix to give enough strength. I've used the peanuts in a mix for a step in my pond. Worked fine. I'd stick with the 3 to 1 mix.

  • This is the best video I've seen but I have problem to gather all the material you use would you please send for me the list of material you used and where can I purchase them Thank you

  • @haicao12 Send me a private message with an email address so I can attach documents that contain lists of suppliers.

  • I just looked up K Mart micro beads and they are charging $21 for 1/2 a cubic foot. Supplier I use charges about a buck a cubit foot. You can use it, but WAY too expensive. You can make light weight rock without beads at all; just use the sand/cement mix and cover waste polystyrene from packaging. Send me a private message with an email address so I can attach the documents you want.

  • Can u send the material list and amounts to me at eds05malibumaxx@gmail. Love all ur vids.

  • Mr. Perry, thank you for your prompt answer. A local business gave me 5 huge bags of the peanuts and a good amount of the Styrofoam blocking like you use in your video. I can't wait to get started making some boulders for my front yard.

    Thanks again.

  • I got micro beads from kmart.com. are they OK to use? Can you please send me your sourse list, please? I'm excited to make a rock.. When will you do a video for a large rock? thanks, Carol Wasicka
