Step 5: Remove the mold container
The lid just pops off. I cut the body of the plastic container with a knife to get it off the cement.
Before removing the mold, think about keeping the cement moist for a few days while the cement cures. It cures harder if it doesn't dry out quickly.
You could leave the cast head inside the plastic mold for a few days, holding in the moisture it already has. Alternatively, you could remove it from the mold and let the head soak in a bucket of water for a few days.

This is so cool! I'm planning to build myself a backyard garden shed. This will be perfect for compacting the ground before I pour the gravel and concrete for the floor. Plus I like to idea of making your own dumbbells. Way to go!
