Butterfly Container Mould

The Butterfly is a container mould made from a lighter flexible plastic.
Pour mix into mould, (ensure that it has already been prepared with release agent) and shake mould to remove air bubbles.
Leave to set.
After concrete has set, de-mould by inverting and distorting the mould slightly and pressing in the centre back of the mould.
Your mould can now be cleaned and prepared for the next casting.
Cure the concrete by keeping moist for 7 days (concrete reaches full strength after 28 days).
The laying of the stones can take place as soon as enough strength has been attained.
However, if you are using the mould for a driveway, the driveway stones should not be driven on for 28 days.
