[Greenbuilding] Bond Breaker?

[Don Eyermann]

We coat our concrete beehive/seats/base molds with a few well rubbed and
buffed coats of carnuba wax. Be sure it is carnuba if you choose this
method, as other waxes are bees wax based and they are not as robust.

Hello, all.

     So I'm casting some pavers.  The instructions recommend coating  
the inside of the forms with "bond breaker", a fluid designed to help  
the concrete come away from the forms easily.

     My local building supply seems to be having trouble locating any.

     Is there any reason I can't use something like vegetable oil or  
mineral oil?  Or is there another alternative?
