H'T Hau 'oli Tiki Member Lamegoona Hills, CA Joined: Feb 03, 2005 Posts: 410	H'T Hau 'oli Tiki Posted posted on Thu, Feb 16, 2006 5:03 PM Now I get it. My husband works for the phone company in Capo Beach/San Juan/San Clemente area. He said one day he was up on a pole and thought he saw an army of tikis. I tried to get him to tell me where, you know, so I could check it out. He couldn't remember. It musta been you!! These are fabulous! I'm headin to the ole mega-hardware-mart and gettin my supplies! Have you tried the great concrete stain from Ganahl Lumber? I used it all over my concrete floors in my living room, but not sure it would work on such a fresh cure. I have some concrete tikis from a garden store. To make them look ancient, I mixed up the old yogurt/moss mess and painted them in strategic areas. They look like they're a thousand years old! REALLY enjoyed all of your posts! Thanks for all the tips!!

He says you and he were discussing the cool pirate dude at that crazy house in Orange, by the cemetary. Sweet! You did that?!! That is so awesome! The Mr says he was telling you about our plans to do a ship wrecked Pirate...ship in our back yard around the pool equipt. and that's how your other work came up. So, are you that dude? Cuz that would be cool! I'd love to come by and adopt a tiki!

U uncrichie Member SE PA Joined: Sep 14, 2006 Posts: 24	U uncrichie Posted posted on Sat, Dec 9, 2006 5:18 PM Capotiki, how thick would you say the average cement is on the tube? From the pictures it looks about 1" with the built up areas about 2". Does that sound about right? I'm trying to make all the notes I can in hopes of doing this next spring. Temp outside right now is 30F. Thanks, Uncrichie.
C capotiki Member capistrano beach ca Joined: Jul 16, 2005 Posts: 127	C capotiki Posted posted on Sat, Dec 9, 2006 6:43 PM Your estimates are right on,at the base I will add more thickness for stability,good luck Uncrichie. [ Edited by: capotiki 2006-12-09 18:46 ]
T teaKEY Tiki Socialite The thumb ! Joined: Nov 09, 2004 Posts: 3687	T teaKEY Posted posted on Sat, Dec 9, 2006 7:06 PM I think on my seven footer that the walls aren't thicker than a 1/2 inch. And there are never any thicker areas. If there is a small build up, I use the wire to build it up first. Plus to get the cement to stick to the wire, you can't have it too heavy and far from the wire I find. But yours are truly different. I was going through the collection that I posted in the past and your named popped up. I thought wow its been a long time since, and the next day, there you were. Did your Spidey Senses tingle.
