I have a couple of 1 1/8″ concrete forms that I need to repair. Plywood in this thickness is difficult to get. I can get Advantech in 1 1/8″ and was thinking of using this. Seems like it would work, high resin content, water resistent. Forms are 4′.
Any thoughts or experiences?
I am not too concerned about the imprint and will probably only need a couple of pours with it.
Thank you

Just finished a pour
With OSB forms. Needed a few extra inches of height, built the forms with 2x8s and put 10" tall OSB over them.
No probs, worked great and got the true 10" I needed.

Advantech for concrete forms, pools, and submarines
It should work great as a concrete form. Their ads showing a sub built out of the stuff (not real, of course) aren't an exaggeration. I built a shed using Advantech for the floor, and was slow in putting the roof on it. After a heavy rain, I had a very shallow pool instead of a shed (1.5" deep, the height of the sill plate). After cutting holes in the corners to drain the water and letting it dry, it looked as good as new. In fact, it was exposed to the weather quite awhile, I'm embarrassed to say ;-). The normal OSB siding swelled, but the Advantech didn't.
