I am trying to make a concrete planter. I built it up around a plastic mold, and left it overnight, covered and damp. The directions I was following said to remove the mold after 24 hours. I did, but must not have been careful enough, the planter broke into 2 large pieces. My question is, can this be fixed, or do I need to throw it out and start over?
Thanks.

Start over. A bag of concrete mix will cost about $3.50. The glue and time to fix it would cost a LOT more, and it wouldn't last. Make sure you follow mixing instructions on the bag, and use some type of reinforcement to make the thing hold together.
