Concrete casting letters, logos for pavers & monuments

Custom stacked foam letters display

Reverse-cut letters and logos are custom made for single-use concrete casting.

Once the concrete is sufficiently hardened, foam letters must be dissolved out to reveal the cast letter shapes. Use a natural citrus solvent (or benzene, which has health risks associated with exposure and contact) to remove the foam from the concrete. Other letter forms, like mdf or reverse-cast metals must be attached to the form for casting and heavily lubricated to be extractible.
