Whether its a wheelbarrow or a 5 gallon bucket, is it okay to use a liner?

For example, put liner in container, mix concrete, pour concrete, pull out liner, dispose liner, squeaky clean wheelbarrow/bucket remains. If it is okay, what should I use as a liner?

  • I don't see why there would be a problem if you wash the wheelbarrow right after mixing concrete

    In fact contractors have been washing their wheelbarrows out for generations.

What kind of liner do you propose to use? Seems to me that any liner that I can think of would rip easily with the rigor of mixing the concrete.

I have used one of those heavy duty wheelbarrows that has a plastic tub on it for mixing concrete. It was surprisingly easy to wash out as compared to a metal wheel barrow.

    Indeed, I can't imagine the liner staying in place and not getting mixed in with the cement.

Spray container with a quick shot of wd40 works like a charm and my fathers been doing it for 30+ years he also sprays his trowels.

  • I'm assuming this wouldn't cause any side effects?

  • I do something similar except I spray the wd on a towel and wipe it down to avoid puddling and the wd getting into the mixture. Shouldn't matter though.
