Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I gave this 5 stars because it does what it's supposed to do. My only experience with this sort of thing is being a plaster hod carrier in my youth, so I'm a rookie. I want to pass along some instruction issues. First, it states 1 80 lb. bag of cement per square. I'm getting 3 bags per 4 squares. Adjust your cement purchase. No fun returning 80 lb. bags. Second, it says 2.5 qt. of water per bag. I found this to be way too dry. Add another qt. and it's smoother and easier to work with. Spraying the form with Pam helps for a smoother finish and releases easier. Also, lift one side of the form to release before removing it. Lifting straight up caused some sticking of the cement. If you need a partial square like I did, make a square to take apart and set in place. I used a coffee can to add the cement to the form. It proved to be easier than a shovel. I read one review that said it was "fun and easy to use". Maybe my age and tendency towards laziness and being anal about the finished product (bad combination), I missed the fun and easy part. A cement mixer would be nice instead of mixing in a wheel barrel. Anyway, as I sit here waiting for the Aleve to kick in, I'm as happy with the finished product as I am with the fact it's done. Would recommend this product to anyone.
