I have made a lot of concrete planters and this time I wanted to experiment with making reusable molds. This segmented concrete planters are made out of Quikrete 5000 concrete mix which comes pre mixed in 80lbs bags and all you have to do is add water. I made one mold out of left over PVC 1-1/4” PVC pipe screwed to a piece of vinyl floor mat. The concrete hexagon planter was made out of pieces of PVC trim board ¾” thick and 5-1/2” wide. I used hinges to connect the boards. The insides of the concrete planters are made from mixing buckets and plastic bottles.

A paver walkway is nice, but very expensive and time consuming. A plain slab of concrete is less expensive, but plain to look at. There are some neat molds that allow you to have the look of intricate pavers but poured from concrete. I've never used them until now, but how hard can it be? I'll let you know.

You should always use a mold release of some kind when making concrete and mortar castings. There are mold release sprays for concrete available through mold and concrete supplies stores but they can be costly or not readily available in your area. There are a few things found in most homes that can be used as a concrete mold release.

In a pinch, WD-40 could be used but is not really an ideal product. It has a thin viscosity and contains chemicals to help penetrate rust. Also, it has quite a strong odor.

Cooking oil such as olive oil or vegetable oil found in almost every kitchen everywhere, is another DIY mold release option that can be used. It can be sprayed on or wiped on with a cloth but either way, be sure to remove excess oil so it does not compromise the finished product.

A combination of dishwashing liquid and isopropyl alcohol can be combined in a spray bottle and sprayed onto the surface of the mold, again wiping off any excess or pooling. The isopropyl alcohol dissipates and the detergent leaves a protective layer on the mold enabling an easier demolding.

Beeswax is another alternative concrete mold release agent. Apply with a stiff brush or cloth to your concrete mold making sure to get good coverage. Using a little heat to soften the beeswax helps it be a little easier to work with and apply.

When applying a mold release agent be sure to wipe up any spots with excess or pooling. If too much release agent is left on the mold it could affect the quality and finish of the concrete casting.

Ever wondered how concrete pavers are made and how sometimes they manage to look so random and yet to fit perfectly together like pieces of a puzzle? It’s quite simple actually. The secret is a concrete paver mold. It lets you create a cool pattern and to lay multiple pavers at once and all you need is the mold and your concrete mix.

I helped design and create a wild nature inspired product. To "plant" the clear resin mushrooms, I was quested with making a cement pot. Throughout that process, this video was filmed. I hope you enjoy this video all about casting concrete! If you like the product, check it out at cruciblecompany.com (free wallpaper downloads at bottom of front page)

If you want to start making concrete castings at home there are a ton of great options to get you started. You can buy kits of mold making rubber from Smooth-On and these are fantastic but very expensive.

Urethane is probably the most common one used for concrete castings because of how durable it is. If you only want to make a small amount of casting rubber, you can mix silicone with corn starch (a few tablespoons per tube of silicone should do).

Plastic bowls are the next item that you should have for doing the easiest DIY concrete castings at home; ideally you find sets of large bowls and small bowls.

Latex can be used for smaller or fine detailed concrete casting pieces but the inability to build thickness with latex makes it less desirable than silicone or urethane based mold making rubbers.
