"Jigstones" ?

[John Candy]

Anyone used "Jigstones" moulds to produce stone/brick walls?
Have an old copy of Garden Rail with article but is mainly illustrations and not much in the way of technical info. on production.
Small selection of moulds sold by Back2Bay6 but no info/download on their website.
Manufacturer's (German)website is useless and is only concerned with a warning not to buy "fake" moulds from a US source with whom they are in dispute over manufacturing rights!

Alternative is to go to Tiranti (supplier of the resin products I use) and buy the appropriate mould material and make some moulds of my own....but that takes time which I cannot spare at present.

What I need is large quantity of retaining wall and viaduct arches to cloak the bricks and concrete blocks being used to cross the garden.
GRS sell concrete items but they are not right size for my purposes, as well as being very expensive.

Thank you to "Bolingbroke" (Roger) who has kindly offered to lend his moulds, together with helpful tips on their use/limitations.

There are a number of options for casting materials, including quick hardening cement, weatherproof "Cassini" plaster, "ciment fondu" and resin.

I may have to experiment to find the best for my purposes.

Watch this space!
