Sounds interesting Ken -
Do you have any pictures you can share so I can get a better idea of
what you are doing? I am not quite clear on how your forms work.
How high have you built wall like this? Are you concerned about the
wet weight on top of the dry wall as you go up?
How thick are the walls you are slip forming?
Would love to hear more.

think then my newest way to sling pc. Two 4x8 sheets of plywood with
2x4 braces in the sandwich little wire threading to hold a couple of
plates to width. Mix and pour mix and pour fill it to the top, let set
cut the wire move the panel up or over with about 1/2 foot overlap
from the last pour. My only problem is keeping enough paper on hand.
