Select an oil or blend of oils that is non-caustic and not soluble in water. Make sure that the oil does not contain any type of wax. Mineral oils and most cooking oils are good options. Cover the concrete form or mold with a generous application of the oil using a paintbrush. Use a smaller brush to oil tighter areas. Keep the application as even as you can. Pour the concrete necessary for your project. Cure the concrete as appropriate. Carefully remove the mold or form when the curing is finished.
Concrete is a mix of portland cement, an aggregate, water and other additives that give the mix certain characteristics. Aggregates vary depending on scale, colour, strength: All measurements are given as volumes, or relationships of volume. The dry materials are mixed first. Water is added to the dry mix. Do not add too much water; the drier the mix, the stronger the final product. (Excess water stays trapped in the cured cement.) How wet to make the mix is a function of the process: casting in a mold will need a wetter mix that slumps into place. Applying the mix to a wire mesh will need a drier mix that feels more like clay and stays in place until it sets.
