[QUOTE="joddle, post: 903619, member: 247983"] From what I have heard (but I have never done it myself!) the concrete thing is not so difficult especially as your dish is bent the right way around! - ie the deformed part of the rim is raised from the ground when the dish is on the ground rather then the other way around. This means you can make a pile of damp sand cement mix then push the dish onto it until the rim touches the ground all the way around apart from the deformed part so when you lift the dish off you will have a mould of the dish which includes the deformed part. (you will have to keep lifting the dish off and adding sand and cement until the whole underside is filled) You then need to cut away the deformed part and let the rest of the cement mix set hard. Once this is done place the dish 180 deg onto the mould the wrong way so the deformation is now on the good part of the mould - you then need to coax the deformed part of the dish down again with a soft mallet or pressure until the rim touches the ground all the way around again. Sounds simple enough but as I say - I've not tried it myself - only read about it somewhere some years ago and it only works for PF dishes. I think almost the same technique was used to clone dishes as well! [/QUOTE]
