RE: [papercreters] Re: 700' burlap wall, insulation projects

You may well be right Perry. I have noticed that by the time my plywood forms get to the high parts of the wall they have quite a bit of papercrete stuck to them. I don't bother to do anything about it, but that's just the way I am. After I'm done with them I lay them out and scrape them off with a hoe or a flat shovel. I did paint the first forms I ever used with motor oil. I don't think it made that much of a difference but I don't really remember that well. It probably did make them a little less likely to stick.

I bet a person could get more miles out of by first sanding, puttying the voids, sanding smooth, then primer and then a super gloss enamel coat on top, like aircraft quality paint.  I bet you could reuse them indefinitely that way.

In fact it is rather difficult to get papercrete to stick to plywood. There is no problem using it in this application and removing it later. I have peices of plywood that have been used many times. Eventually it warps and delaminates but with the price of new plywood these days it feels good to get a lot of uses out of it.
