Step 1: Balloon Preperation
Inflate balloon so that it sits in plastic dish without touching the bottom.
Step 2: Mixing SikaQuick® Patch
Roll in direction of the arrows until seal is broken. Shake back and forth until product is fully mixed and there's no clumping. Cut any corner and pour SikaQuick® Patch into cup.
Step 3: Coating Balloon
Using spatchula coat the balloon with first layer of cement. Add additional layers of cement if needed.
Step 4: Creating Hole
Using plastic straw or coffee mixer create a small hole on the bottom of the balloon. This will allow for water drainage once soil is added.
Step 5: Let Cement Cure
Let cement dry. It should take approxmately 2 hours to fully cure depending on climate conditions. Then you can pop the balloon with a pin and remove any excess or lose pieces of concrete.
Final Step:
Add soil and then your succulents to your mini cement ballon platers!
