In these images you can see the process that took about a week and a half of filling and patting down the tarmac over the mould. I was worried that it would potentially collapse if it wasn't thick enough- I made sure that the feet of it on the ground were a lot thicker to support the weight. In order to keep applying tarmac and make sure that the tarmac wouldn't collapse due to gravity- I kept titling it and once it was dry I could move it again the apply more.
Removing the mould
I was so worried it would collapse but luckily it all turned out to be successful. I was also worried that the tarmac resin would stick to the areas of wood that didn't have plastic sheeting on it (I put vaseline on these areas). Overall I am really happy with the finished arch, i'm not sure how strong it is as to wether it would hold if it was knocked- but for now it is taking shape.
Angle Grinding BURGER LIGHTS
The angle grinder is one of my favourite tools. I used it to round of the circles that were abit deformed due to the lino that I used for a mould. It was interesting because the small rocks which are coated in tar in the tarmac were exposed- I aim to repaint this with black resin.
