Next step :

After I smoothed and primed the walls, "court pouring" will be the next.

First I cut off the area with sticks, where nothing should come out.

I glued the segment edges with foam tape and the visible boundaries of the yard become delimited with a sand hill.

Then I roughly measured the surface and calculates the casting volume. Dental plaster can be touched quite thin, what makes it ideal for something like that. Quickly checked again whether the segment is straight, then the plaster could be mixed.

The casting was still easier than expected and the yard was quickly filled.

A check revealed that all the seals were ok. Only at one point I got to fill with more sand because behind the wall ther was some water.

Now comes the worst part:

To be patience until the plaster is hard and the water evaporates.

But until then I'll probably had to look every hour Wink Big Grin
