Olde World Stone and Tile Molds All of the formulas are based on a full batch, and are designed for mortar mixer and vibrating table utilization. For smaller (1/2), (1/4), batches, etc., reduce the formulas by 50%, 25%, or the appropriate percentage. The different color formulas listed here will give the colorant measurements only. The white cement, additives and the sand will be per the standard measurements as listed in “Section 3.7.7 MIXING”, in your Manufacturing Training Manual.

WARNING!
BE SURE YOU HAVE COMPLETE COVERAGE OF MOLD RELEASE ON YOUR MOLDS BEFORE POURING THIS SLATE COLOR. MOLDS MAY BE DIFFICULT TO CLEAN AFTER POURING THIS COLOR. CLEAN THE MOLDS IMMEDIATELY WITH WARM, SOAPY WATER.
Shake the mold from side-to-side to spread some of the colorant over the surface of the mold. Use any excess colorant that does not stick to the mold face, in the next mold, or add any additional colorant as necessary. A little trial and error may be needed to get the “splash” effect you are looking for.
