We have built close to 400 towers this year. We have not used anything on
them. Any diesel fuel (even a small amount) would cause issues with our EH&S
department on having it on the ground.
We have to report a spill if a carrier spills a small amount while refilling
a generator.

Well, I've never really had a problem with sticky forms but I'm working
with bigger forms than usual so I wanted to anticipate the potential
problem. In retrospect there'll be dirt around the finished base so even if
there was some wood fragments sticking to the concrete, it'll be covered up
by the dirt.
The consensus is either a petroleum product (e.g. diesel oil, etc.) or
a waxy product (e.g. floor wax). Tnx to all for your input!
Cheers,
