are the tubes reusable
3
I used the entire 4 foot section in a single concrete pour. I don't think I'm getting the tube off of the concrete without cutting it. The inside is sort of waxy, so it might slide off for shorter sections, but it would be better to plan on buying as many as you think you'll need to finish the job. You might be able to duct tape it back together, but that seems iffy too.
Was this Answer Helpful ?No, the QUIK-TUBE® Concrete Forms are intended for one time use only. If the intention is to remove them, for the easiest removal and the smoothest concrete finish, apply a release agent to the inside of the forms before using, then remove the QUIK-TUBE® within 24 hours. Cut the QUIK-TUBE® with a sharp knife or power saw set to the correct cutting depth. Simply peel the form away from the concrete. Note though that the forms are designed for construction applications, and will not necessarily leave a flawless, smooth finish.
