1

Step 1

Coat the square-shaped casting mould with cooking oil from inside and put it on a stable surface. Then, prepare about 2500g of creative-cement according to package instructions and pour it into the big square-shaped casting mould.

Step 2

Coat the outer sides of the circle-shaped casting mould with cooking oil and place it centrically into the filled square-shaped casting mould. Subsequently, the circle-shaped casting mould is going to be weighed down with pebbles in order to reach the desired depth.

Step 3

Let it dry overnight, thereupon you can release the moulds and leave the cement to dry out (one to several days).
