I'm going to make some foundation forms, but having never made my own I have a few questions. I've looked at purchasing some steel ones, but for my needs this doesn't seem worth it. My thinking is that I could build them cheaply enough, but I'd like them to last. I know the traditional treatments are to use oil, diesel, or similar form release agents, but I was wondering if anyone has tried any less messy/stinky alternatives like painting them, or laminating plastic to them? Also, if i use HDO, do I need to use a form release agent, or is the coating on the HDO good enough?
