I did it! -

18 years ago

I am so thrilled that my first tufa trough has worked. At least I was able to get it off the board that I made it on. Today, I was able to take the form (plastic hospital tub)out of it. The plastic tub was really too flexible.

I made four small tufa feet in plastic punch cups.

How do I attach them to the trough? Nancy

I have used gorilla glue or just exterior grade silicone caulk to adhere feet to pots!

Nancy, You can use the same recipe that you made the trough out of to attach the feet or a mortar mix. Just make sure that the trough and feet are damp to help the new mix and pieces adhere to each other. Billie

Thanks to both of you for your help. Billie, by motor mix, do you mean just cement and water? Nancy

Not motor mix, but mortar mix. Nancy
