Secrets of form oil | Concrete form oil introduction

This videos gives the secrets of form oil and provides and introduction for the material. Form oil is used on the surface of formwork to keep the concrete from bonding to it. Form oil is widely used in concrete construction but few people think about how it works and how effective it is. This video gives an overview of three different types of form oil and provides an introduction to the testing of these materials and how they are used.

Well done. I've been pouring concrete since about 1998. Love your content. I've learned alot since watching and I always have more questions!! Keep up the great work!!

[@TylerLey]

Thank you so much!!! Please keep watching and posting! It is great to get positive feedback.

[@AlgoDar]

I am happy you are inspiring your students professor!

[@goetwil3399]

Thanx for "the good information"...very usefull to me...🙏🙏🙏🙏😃

[@Clark-Mills]

Lapel mikes, boom mike or pass the mike needed. No titling overlays over people. That aside good info and production, and VERY much looking forward to the results, thanks! :)

[@TylerLey]

Thanks Clark! These are good comments that can really help.

[@scorpio6587]

Well done, guys. I like the thoroughness of the testing. I am excited to see the results.

[@richardross7219]

This will be interesting. I still remember the days when the forms were rolled with diesel oil. Have a Happy and Healthy New Year. Good Luck, Rick

[@SigmaDG]

some still do...

[@danieljamesmak]

You and your videos inspire. Thank you.

[@TylerLey]

Thank you so much!!

[@cornpop7805]

Thank you for the content! Please work on your sound quality, perhaps bringing the mic closer to the speaker and using a high quality mic. The mic should be chosen (I certainly don't know which one) for its ability to drown out background noise. Also, temporarily turning of machines and equipment, may help. Kepp up the good work!

[@sarowie]

great works guys. One hint for your future: Audio is very important in the perceived video quality. A bit of organic lab noise is great to make the video authentic - but constantly and during important information makes it acoustically hard to hear you. Use microphones on the speaker (that reduces the noise and you can fade between mics) or even record the audio in post.

[@TylerLey]

Thanks so much! I like the tip about putting microphones on the speakers. I totally agree about the sound. Feedback like this really helps them improve.

[@richardalengijr2342]

Tyler, we watch a lot of your videos in the MILE HIGH 303! Keep up the good work and teachings.

[@TylerLey]

Thank Richard! I love Denver. I have family and friends there. We should meet up sometime. I should be visiting in the next few months.

[@richardalengijr2342]

Wow, absolutely. Actually some of us were talking about you on one of my job sites about a month ago. I am an engineer in technician and do a lot of concrete testing and PT inspections. One of the concrete trucks had an air gauge device attached to it and I believe they said you were the designer of it. Pretty cool. Let me know anytime you’re in Denver

[@ernestfultz6159]

When I use to be a precaster when we would run out of the commercial form oil we would spray the molds with diesel fuel. Put it on with a pressurized sprayer. let the molds sit at a tilt for a while so it would soak in while the excess drained, then wipe the molds out to get rid of any grit it loosened up

[@loganconnally4361]

Over application of form release agents are the number one cause of bug holes

[@strayerwolf7350]

Learning so much about concrete from your channel, its so informative and easy to understand for beginner like me. Many of your videos talk about pros and cons between conventional steel rebar and newest FRP/carbon rebar.....Would be happy if you could also talk about pretreated bamboo rebar, as it's very sustainable, generally cheap, and i've seen some of old colonial building in my country using it (they're still in great shape). Anyway many thanks for making this channel :)

[@TylerLey]

Thanks! I am not an expert on bamboo rebar. I have read about it but have not used it. I may be able to sneak it into some testing coming up! Thanks for the great suggestion!

[@omma-llama7860]

this is geekish goodness! thanks!

[@nullstyle]

Fuck yes new Tyler Ley video

[@andrewhallett-patterson9778]

Great first vid guys. Producing vids for public release is always difficult, but once over the initial steps, and the inevitability self questioning of technique, scripting, etc you'll gain more confidence and power on. I'm looking forward to further discussions. And just for the books, the use of form oil within the concrete industry in Australia is extremely limited to the point that it's use is only incorporated into concrete applications when requested by engineers. Even when requested, form oil is substituted with silicone based industrial mould release, this causing contamination issues that are overlooked. Not good. 👍👍🇭🇲

[@maxhatman3218]

Nice video - enthusiasm!

[@jfarinacci0329]

Very good video. thank you.

[@amarrch100]

Appreciate your enthusiasm in making these informative videos. If possible could you make one on concrete shells?

[@harrysurtees8710]

I have a plastic bucket I am using for a form. Can I spray it with Spam so it will separate from the concrete after it cures?

[@bobbyshaftoe]

This is almost exactly what I was looking for! I'd selfishly love to see the reactive form release agent testing in relation to making cement desktop molds from HDF/masonite. :-))

[@blipco5]

Great job. Big jobs I've been on for exposed finish surfaces, they've used steel forms with a plywood liner with some sort of shiny slick laminate then they sprayed on oil. Minimal vibration to reduce cavitation.

[@TylerLey]

Thanks Blip. Do you have pics?

[@blipco5]

Tyler Ley ...No pics. I worked on Back Bay train station in 1987. Cell phones weren't around then. The forms were about twenty feet tall and six to eight feet wide. They were huge and had to be lifted in place by cranes. If you're ever there, those concrete columns were poured in one piece with these forms.

[@MarkThomas123]

Do you know what to add to cement to create a hot face product that could be used in furnaces or forges? Something up around 3000 degrees Fahrenheit? Is there some sort of simple easy to procure mix that would work well? Damned if you

[@TylerLey]

You should try calcium aluminate cement. I am not sure it can do 3000F but it can get close.

[@tusharkatariya9523]

Shall be use form oil in tube well ?

[@boby115]

Students, good job. Producing videos is a great way to increase your comfort level in front of the camera and in front of your peers when you're called on to demonstrate / lecture. Look at Tyler, I think he may be more comfortable in front of a camera then in front of his wife. I was just wondering if you have done any experiments with parchment paper ? I recently made Christmas candy with my wife using parchment paper, believe me nothing sticks to this stuff.

[@TylerLey]

Thanks Bob for the kind words and encouragement! Parchment paper is a good idea and I think it could work well. They stuck with the three oils.

[@Real_Tim_S]

How about the inverse - what if we want to permanently bond the concrete to a form (i.e. ICF, etc)?

[@brucewinningham4959]

Great job Dr. Ley. Great job to your Students as well. I was looking for a video like this on Form Oil and I have found it. I was reading that Motor Oil is NOT recommended for use as Concrete Form Oil for the possibility it might discolor the concrete on something that "Aesthetic" Looks Matters. I, like you, have always had an interest in Concrete since I was Blessed to grow up in a small TN town that had Limestone Quarries for road rock, Agricultural Limestone, and Aggregates for Concrete. There were also 3 plants that made Precast Concrete Products. All are History now except for one Limestone Quarry. Sorry about getting off the subject but I was wondering about your opinion on the Commercial brands of Form Oils. Are they better than using the Alternatives like Pam or Motor Oil? BTW, I used to be a shallow hole Oil & Gas Well Driller. I bought many gallons of Concrete Form Oil from the Oil Distributors for use as an Air Hammer Rock Drill Oil for injecting into the airstream down the hole for lubricating the Pneumatic Piston in the Down Hole Drill. It seemed like it worked pretty well for Hammer Oil in a pinch. I also used "Bar & Chain Oil," for Chainsaws as well for the same purpose. The Rig's Penetration rate "suffers" when the Hammer is NOT properly Lubricated. I wonder how that would work as a Form Oil? I was told the three oils mentioned had the same Specs but Please don't take my word for it. I was an Oilfield Driller, NOT an Oilfield Chemist NOR Lubrication Engineer. LOL

[@dchall8]

Dr. Ley, couple things: Now I know why people go to acting school. Still it was informative. Second, if you really want a great field trip for you or your classes, visit Moscow. One of the things we noticed was that people did not walk their babies in strollers simply due to the huge, gaping cracks in the Russian sidewalks. Crack is the wrong term, because we know what concrete cracks look like. These are 8 to 12-inch openings between what appears to be solid slabs of concrete. The disintegration of their concrete was so horrifying I even took pictures (in 1998, so they are lost in the house somewhere).

[@ramonching7772]

They have really divided the task equally. I hope when they are separated, each one will know the whole thing.

[@TylerLey]

Thanks Ramon. I think they learned a lot. They will show more testing in the next video.

[@SigmaDG]

Hey Tyler. Subscriber here. Will you be at World of Concrete in Las Vegas in February? Our company will be displaying our threaded fiberglass form ties for concrete forms. They are really taking off in popularity and would like to have you take a look!

[@ssmith2019]

You guys are Great ! . . . and I'm looking forward to the next one ! . . . but the audio needs HELP ! . One overhead mic picks up too much room echo and picks up your voices at different volumes because of mic placement in relation to each speaker,. Also each speakers voice has a different timbre and sibilance that reacts differently to the room's reverberation which exacerbates the ovrhead mics's limitations. I recommend individual lapel mics to address to address the volume discrepancies and room noise. . . and maybe a lil' EQ to help with the sibilance ! I bet You guys are stoked to have a prof like Tyler ! . . . ps . ait voids should read air voids . . yes ?

Can you use olive oil

[@dscrive]

informative, entertaining, and fun, I enjoyed it and look forward to the results. assuming it isn't rude to offer a suggestion: if you're school has some sort of media program (school news program, videography course, etc) you might be able to checkout/borrow a shotgun mic for the next video (assuming you haven't already filmed it). it will help block out ambient noise and increase the clarity of your voices. Video quality seems great so keep it up!

[@TylerLey]

Thanks for the comments! I agree with the improved mic suggestion~!!!

[@TylerLey]

Thanks Wroger! Good suggestions. A lot of the formulations are not available for these materials. I think you will like video 2. Stay tuned. I look forward to your comments!

very useful. is this an undergrad lab?

[@pulporock]

Greetings Tyler, content good but average audio; more interested in follow up videos. I have often use just about any oil, for the forms; wd40, diesel, sump oil, what ever is available. So what grade did you score? Thanks for all your great videos this year. Happy new year. Cheers Pulpo

[@MattOwens]

Coconut oil seems to work well

[@brotheradam]

Which oil is best and cheapest for plywood forms. Is it better to paint the plywood with oil paint first or possibly use a good yet cheap latex paint then use the oil to help release... all questions I would love to know the answers to.

[@TylerLey]

Thanks Adam, Stay tuned for video 2. Some products will weather the surface of the concrete. Commercial form oil doesn't seem to do that. I am not sure why yet.

[@brotheradam]

@@TylerLey so would vegetable oil compared to motor oil? I mean..am building in Caribbean where commercial form oil is like finding concrete fibres.. not very easy...

Can't wait to see how it turns out. Always use form oil. There is nothing worse than squeeky concrete. In fact, no amount of squeeky is in spec.

Hi Tyler, I wanted to ask you about curing concrete with water is it ok applying water with a sprinkler that would cover the entire slab? And does it have to be constant for how long? Thank you Tyler

[@TylerLey]

Jr, Sprinkler is great. I would cure for at least 3 days. You don't have to apply the water constantly but you don't want it to dry out. Check this video out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6TMfauopdKShqc

[@douglaspohl1827]

@@TylerLey Perfect way to start 2020 with aerated concrete aka AIRCRETE. Thanks Dr. Ley, you are a great teacher!

[@aaronstately]

Stop. you should include straight diesel as a mould release as well which is common. Also, i use old motor oil (usually used diesel oil) mixed with 30% Kerosene as form release.. the kerosene thins out the old oil so it is not as viscous and absorbs timber forms easier. I would really like to see both of these used to give a true indication of the types of form oil out there. That said, a good use for oil in a spray can like spam is on tin sheds etc... where you don't want excess concrete splashed on to the surface, or if it is, it is easy to remove later.

[@loganconnally4361]

HORRIBLE idea, this isnt the 70's. Chemically reactive release agents have been around since the 50's, and they leave a true architectural finish, with NO big holes

[@aaronstately]

@@loganconnally4361 dont get me wrong, where architectural finish is required.. use premium, but im talking about re-using formwork, no see areas.. ive just started using petrol with oil diesel oil and it works great.
