You will probably have some damage, accidents happen. Use cardboard boxes and newspaper for packing when transporting. Do not attach bases, it's easier to store and lighter to lift without them. Put things that can be knocked over up on a table and away from kids. Why would you have to make a bunch of trips, only take what you can handle for one trip, this isn't exactly a booming economy.

Thanks for the info. That is what I was kind of thinking.

As to your original question:
I am wondering if anyone has used a concrete casted leaf to make the mold using Murphy;s Oil Soap on the concrete. Will the same process work or will it be stuck to the leaf forever?
If you take your original cast leaf, and oil it very lightly, you can make a mold of it using 100% silicon caulking.
Take an old bowl, and very warm water with a good squirt of dish soap.
Cut the silicon tube tip, close to the tube, and with a caulk gun squeeze out the silicon into the soapy water.
Get your hands soapy, and scoop out the silicon from the bowl and smooth it over the original leaf. ( Mine usually take 1 1/2 -2 tubes....1 foot sq leaves )(Use an icecube if you want it really smooth)
Don't let it get too thick! no more than 1/2 inch.
Let it set up for a couple of days,
and remove.
You may lose a bit of paint...but? what can I say...
Then mound your new mold onto some sand, lightly oil it, and spread on your mix, just like you did when you made the original.
Make sure you wash your mold really good, and store it away from sunlight...I baby powder mine between uses. They last for 20-30 castings...depends on how you take care of them

I have been playing with the mold thing. I now have another mold ready to pull off tonight. I used Murphy's directly on the unpainted casted leaf. Then I put silicone directly on that. Will see how it worked tonight. Your way sounds like a stronger mold. Are you using the GE Silicone II or do you sub the cheaper stuff. I got the GE kind but of course if I can go cheaper I will. Thanks Kathy

Marcia, Sometimes if you change the "subject" line it will let you post. Billie

Morning Kathy,
I get my silicon free....it's a generic brand, and works super. As long as it is 100% it will work.
Let us know how it works for you!

If your spheres aren't too small, go to a tire store and ask if they have one or two of those baby-sized spare tires for discard (rim must be removed). Lay an old towel over the tire and set the sphere in the center.

Sue, That is a good idea. Why didn't I think of that? Because I wanted someone to think for me!! I have a couple that are fairly big and I bet that will work. I have no idea if anything will sell but it will be fun. Thanks Kathy
