On a similar job we used 3/4 stakes and pre-trimmed flush to the top of all 2x4 frames and covered gaps with overlapping layers of red stucco tape to keep out concrete from falling in the gaps. Finishers sponged off the red tape as they edged and then upon frame removal, we Sawzalled through the nails holding the stakes to the 2x4's and pulled out the between stakes and the pre-oiled 2x4's came out pretty easy. We debated if we were overthinking it but it worked out great and was a easy removal due to an hour of taping the joints.

Thats a good concept but with form oil and screeds, edgers, hand floats and other things hitting the top of the form, tape is not going to hold. I recommend putting a flexible filler in between the forms, like expansion foam, backer rod.

awesome job yall. a puller tool would work good on removing those stubborn form boards. it could be a piece of all thread with a hook at the end and there could be a frame that sits ontop of the concrete to pull against. and the hook will drop down under the form board and then turn the all thread to pull the form out. could also lay an 8"x8" wood block on the concrete and lay a burkes bar across the block and hook a chain on the end of the bar and the bottom of the chain hooks on the form board and pry that stubber biotch out of there. ive got a spec house build starting soon and these squares would look nice. so glad yall make these videos for us. thanks so much.
