@cobalt I’m not sure where I got the idea to do this, just that it started with wanting make some kind of new feeder for our backyard wildlife. I saw a lot of all-in-one kits for making keepsake-type castings, couples holding hands, that kind of thing. Many of those use plaster or resin for casting, not suitable for outdoors. So I kept looking & found a couple of videos on doing this with cement. Not sure anyone else was wanting to feed squirrels & birds with them. But I have more ideas now.
