Well even very broken toes only get some tape and advice about wearing stiff shoes, so it would probably not have made much difference anyway. The one exception being large fractures involving the joints in the big toe.
The next one did only get slightly better :( I vibrated it something like two minutes with the saw. Could it be bubbles forming from the mix? Maybe something about the plasticizer? Anyway i kinda don’t want to keep redoing this, i’m thinking about filling the holes and using it anyway, though it might crack due to freezing temperatures at some point i guess…
// Edit: specified that it was maybe slightly better
Thank you for the elaborate response. The second batch is now vibrated a whole lot more than the first one and i weighed the mixed beforehand. It’s just a premixed bag for setting posts i’ve used. 0-8mm.
It’s really a pleasure to see the concrete vibrate into place. I am curious whether i’ve now also vibrated the pour down between the two parts of the mold too… We’ll see in a few days i guess.
Thank you for the advice. Do you really think a toothbrush will work? ^^ I read somewhere that oil spray (you know for pans and stuff) was good, so i tried that and it seemed to work fine, the form slipped pretty easily.
I want to make a drain where this puddle forms, but stock drains from hardwarestores expects more difference in the ground levels. I only have a few centimeters to work with to a french drain around the corner, so i want the outlet to be on the side close to the surface. I have a drain grate that will fit on top of this thing.
Well i just tried holding the bottom of my multicutter onto the mold, probably was not enough. Maybe if i put the entire thing on a plate i can vibrate the whole plate somehow…
Thank you all for the responses. I ended up ordering a replacement battery, since i intend to sell the unit and don’t want to pass on a ‘pig in a poke’. Had the voltage been a little higher i would probably have attempted to recharge it.
Thank you for the elaborate response. Does this seem reasonable: Charging voltage 5 * 3,3v = 16,5v, charging current limit 100mA? And then put the whole thing in the garden? Would you take breaks?
Cool. I was of the understanding that a big part of the corneal damages leading to vision loss was due to vascularization. I was missing some perspective on that in the article.
