stryofoam form question

18 years ago

I dumpster dove & came up w/ a huge collection of thick styrofoam. I've cruised the FAQs & didn't find an answer to one, simple question:

Does a styro form need a release agent applied in order to get the finished tufa out?

I'd rather not use plastic bags for one particular shape as I don't want the lines that plastic can make. And I'd like to reuse the forms w/out having to cut them apart.

The shapes are the spaces that held turned, porcelin bathroom sink legs. So the turned shape is on the bottom & 2 sides. I thought they would make cool garden edges 'cause the 4th side would be flat & that would rest on the ground. I do want the rustic look of tufa to make them look aged & hold eventual moss... just don't really want the wrinkles made by plastic bags. It would be hard to keep them smooth in the turnings.

Will this be possible?
