A combination employing a disposable mold for making a test sample of set concrete or the like comprising a unitary plastic piece that includes a closed bottom end, a cylindrical, tubular wall extending substantially perpendicular to the bottom end and connected therewith and terminating in an open end and an annular lip connected with the cylindrical, tubular wall adjacent the open end; a locking, moisture-proof lid adapted to snap into place; and a carrying tong adapted to removably slide into engagement with said annular lip so as to carry said mold and any material in sample therewithin. Also disclosed are method of obtaining the concrete sample and the capping composition, each of which use the disposable mold. Preferably, the mold has a removable strip such as a scored stripping line or a tear away strip to facilitate removal from about the test sample. Precautions are taken to ensure that all diameters are within the tolerances allowed by the American Society For Testing Materials (ASTM) Specification C-470.
