| Just a quick question
I'm making a cement bowl for a friends' birdbath that broke. We're using a plastic one (from Walmart) for a mold. What to use for release agent? Do I need a release agent? I'm hoping to just pour the cement into the mold and then cut away the plastic when it's set up. Thanks! |

| You can spray the bowl with PAM or wipe it with a thin coating of Vaseline. I have made cement planters using large plastic bowls & have been able to reuse the bowls many times. Good luck! |

| Thanks! I was wondering about WD40??? |

| I usually line mine with plastic bag, or spray with silicon spray or pam. You can use the mold over and over. I have messed up and had to cut the tufa out a few times :-( bonnie |
