Process of making artificial rocks out of expended plastic bottles and metal cans

摘要

A method for converting expended plastic and metal containers into artificial rocks by removing the label from a plastic or metal container, removing the top, stuffing the container with compacted, smaller, expended plastic, beverage bottles, or cleaned, crushed, expended food cans, shaping the filled plastic container by means of a heat gun, or the filled metal container by crimping the ends, burning holes into the filled, shaped plastic container with a soldering iron or drilling holes in the filled shaped metal container with an electric drill. A first layer of wet stucco is troweled onto the shaped container, lightly pressed into the holes, and allowed to dry, whereupon a second layer of stucco is applied over the base layer and allowed to dry, after which a layer of colored cement is applied over the second layer and brushed and rolled while still wet to create different surface textures like those of real rocks and allowed to dry to form the final rock product that looks just like a real rock.

1. A method of converting an expended plastic or metal container into an artificial rock by:
(a) Removing the label from the container, (b) cutting off the top of the container, (c) filling the container with non-organic waste materials, (d) using a heat source to shape the container, if plastic, into a rock type shape, (e) putting a plurality of holes into the surface of the container, (f) covering the container with a layer of wet stucco, (g) lightly pressing the wet stucco so that some of the stucco goes into the holes, (h) allowing the stucco to dry, (i) applying a second layer of stucco over the first layer and allowing said second stucco layer to dry, (j) applying a layer of colored cement over said second layer and allowing said colored cement layer to dry.
