Theming Public Spaces: Great Outdoors RV Superstore

Requirements:

  • Be Competitive

The Great Outdoors RV Superstore in Auburn, NY wanted a themed reception area that projects their nature brand/image. Steve Millard of CNY Concrete (Mattydale, NY) was contracted to design/build a hyper-realistic rock scape with an integrated waterfall feature and selected Buddy Rhodes Vertical Mix as the material best suited for the job.


1. RAMP™ bonding primer and cure promoter is applied to carved EPS foam.


2. Vertical Mix is blended with water and RAMP™ to a clay-like consistency.


3. Vertical Mix can be applied by hand, trowel or mortar sprayer to a minimum ¾" thickness.


4. Shortly after applying mix, texture can be added with rubber stamps and rollers.


5. Use plastic, wood or metal sculpting tools to carve precise detail.
