After the mold was constructed, we could then cast our canoe onto the form. This was a big project that took us about 4 hours to complete.

We measured, and mixed concrete.
Then, we put a layer on our mold.

A layer of mesh over the first layer,
another layer of concrete,
checking our dimensions,
and finishing.

Once this was all completed, we placed sheets on top to distribute the water from a sprinkling system overhead. The water from this helps create a stronger concrete. The canoe then cured for 28 days.
