Can I use a galvanized bucket to make a cement stool?
I need a stool for outside and I love cement. I bought a galvanized tub that is the perfect size for the stool I need (I will add dowels for legs). Is there anything I need to do to the steel to prevent the cement from not coming out once cured? Thanks in advance

Usually the tub is removed once the cement is set. Oil the inside of the tub for easy removal.
