doing my best to be responsible and protecting this beautiful pavers that we put in by surrounding this thing with plastic before we pour concrete cuz that's going to stain and uh all the beautiful work that we've got done. This is going to go straight to the trash. All right, we have our mold. Before we start slinging concrete like we're losing our mind, we need to have a release agent from this mold. A release agent is basically something that allows for the wood or foam insulation our situation to separate from that concrete. Uh if you don't put any kind of releasing agent, all the stuff will be stuck to it like glue and you'll have to like pressure wash it off. It's it's annoying. You can use a bunch of different things. I've always used like a car wax. I've seen hacksman use like a vegetable oil, like a cooking oil. That works as well. Uh, I kind of met it down the middle. Instead of rubbing on the wax on, wax off. Mr. Miyagi, I'm going to try this Maguire's quick wax. It's an automotive quick wax. I've never used it. I've never tried using it as a releasing agent, but we're going to give the old college try and see how it turns out.
