Sometimes it is a product called <strong>Form Release Agent</strong>, but if we run out of that, we'll just use some diesel fuel. For the column forms above, I think it was some type of <strong>Lanolin Oil</strong>. This provided the best concrete finish I have ever seen, but there was a problem later because the curing agent would not stick to the columns. Generally whatever is supplied.
