Instruction for use
- Select the center you want to use.
- You can sand the contact surfaces. (Not fully necesasary)
- Lubricate the molds. (Tested with cooking oil and worked perfectly)
- Fit all the parts together.
- You may use office clamps to get them tight.
- Pour the concrete up to the top.
- Vibrate the mold a little (soft knocks on the table) so you get no air bubbles.
- Remove excess.
- Patience! It takes around 24hs to get safe-dry.
- Unmold. First you take off the lateral parts and then the center one.
- Now you can sand the surface a little to get rid of any imperfection.
- Once it dryed for 48hs you should humectate the concrete pot to avoid cracking.
- You're done!
You can seal the interior of the pot using a waterproof solution. You won't have any big issue if you don't, but it makes a better finish.
Now you should wash your molds, don't let too much concrete stick into your pieces if you don't want to struggle on the next one.
