Vac-U-Form™
Features and Benefits:
Single Use Vac-U-Form™ liners offer cost effective
architectural detail.
Vac-U-Form™ liners are vacuum formed to specific or
“standard” sheet sizes using high impact styrene plastic.
They are ideally suited for small or medium
areas of coverage.
The benefits of a Vac-U-Form™ liner are:
• economical to use
• are very lightweight
• if required, can be cut to size on site.
Most patterns supplied in Vac-U-Form™ can be
“matched” either top-to-bottom, or side-to-side for
larger panel dimensions.
FitzLok™
Single-use FitzLok™ liners provide seamless,
simulated smooth brick or block masonry
architectural finishes.
The patented interlocking formliner panels
have keyed ends and an overlapping grout
joint systems that lock the liners in place.
FitzLok patterns are matched either from
top-to-bottom or from side-to-side.
Eliminates the visible seam across
the brick face.
Save labour and material costs associated
with patching, grinding and buffing!
FitzLok is easy to trim with a utility knife!
VinyLok™
Vinylok™ formliners are extruded in a single use, rigid
polystyrene plastic to 9 metres in length for use in tilt-up,
precast and cast-in-place concrete applications.
VinyLok’s unique interlocking system provides the ideal
solution for projects where seamless finishes are required.
The nailing strip provides for simple fixing of the liner to
formwork or concrete slabs.
No unsightly nail head impressions or grooves are reflected
in the cast panel.
The benefits of a VinyLok™ liner are:
• Seamless finishes
• Design flexibility
• Fast installation
• Reduced labour costs
• Reduces concrete leakage and the need for patching

HANDY HINTS
& TIPS.
Formliner Attachment
Tilt up Applications:
• Place the liner on the slab
• Drill a hole through the formliner and into the concrete
• Place a wooden dowel into the drilled hole in the slab
• Break the dowel off flush with the surface of the slab
• Use a large-headed roofing nail to hold the liner in place.
NOTE:
• It is important that the formliner is contained on all four sides so that concrete cannot move under it.
• The formliner must be held flat against the casting surface, ensuring that no deformations (blisters)
are present in the formliner.
• Do not allow the formliner to move around freely.
• Load concrete onto the formliner from the centre, moving the concrete towards the
outside perimeter with rakes.
• Do not allow concrete to be pushed under the formliner at panel-to-panel joint locations.
Formliner Attachment
Cast-in-Place Applications:
• Level and square the formwork to ensure proper alignment of the liner.
• Dimensions should be marked to square edges, patterns and joints.
• Working with one sheet at a time, position the formliner against the
formwork so that edges and joints are square.
• Screw the liner to the timber formwork with screws spaced
approximately 150mm to 300mm on centre around the perimeter and
45cm to 60cm on centre across the liner.
• Use self-drilling screws, as they are easy to install.
• Seal the seams and joints with Ramset GapSeal, ABS glue, or plumber’s
glue as required.
• Do not use silicone.
• Some deeper patterns may require wood back-up strips to prevent
formliner deflection.
Cutting Single Use Formliners
Vac-U-Form liners trim easily with a circular saw
or with a fine-tooth plywood blade hand saw.
For best results with a circular saw, a 60 tooth
(60T) blade to limit “chatter” and splintering.
If the liner is to be butted against a rustication
strip, false joint or a reveal, the blade angle
should be set so that the liner is cut at the same
angle as the reveal.
Clamp the liner to a saw horses or a bench.
Use a saw guide for accuracy
These operations should be performed with the
liner securely clamped to a steady workbench to
prevent any movement of the liner that could
fracture the formliner surface.
Formliners with minimal relief can be trimmed
by scoring with a sharp knife and breaking
off the excess.
Proper ventilation practices must be followed
when cutting formliner material.
Use a 60T blade for best results.
Formliner is cut without “chattering”
or splintering.
Joining Single Use Formliners
Formliners with minimal relief:
• When joining patterns with minimal relief, the liners can be butted against one another
and fixed to the casting bed or formwork.
• Once the liners are fixed into position, use ABS glue or plumbers glue along the join.
• ABS Glue will have a chemical reaction with the plastic and will tend to “melt” the liners together.
Deep Formliner patterns:
• When Joining plastic formliners with deep patterns, a wood strip may be
required to beneath the join to support the liner.
• The wood strip must be no higher than the maximum depth of the liner.
• Use self drilling screws to attached the liner to the wood strip.
• Use ABS Glue or plumber’s glue along the seam and on the fastener heads
to prevent any reflection into the cast panel.
• Once all the liners are joined, ensure all sheets are fixed to the casting bed or formwork.
Using a reveal:
Creating a “Soft Edge” reveal:
• The height of the reveal (mock joint or false Joint) should be as high as the highest point of the liner.
• For example, a reveal used on Georgetown Ashlar (FFSR16986VS) should be a minimum of 38mm high
• The formliner is cut at 45° with a circular saw to match the profile of the reveal
• Use ABS Glue or Plumber’s Glue to run along the join line between the reveal and the formliner
• DO NOT USE silicone as it will leave a dark witness line which will be reflected in the cast panel.
Using a reveal:
Creating a “Hard Edge” reveal:
• The height of the reveal or fillet should be as high
as the highest point of the liner.
• For example, a reveal used on Georgetown Ashlar
(FFSR16986VS) should be a minimum of 38mm high.
• The formliner is cut at 45° with a circular saw to
match the profile of the fillet or reveal
• Use ABS Glue or Plumber’s Glue to run along the
join line between the reveal and the formliner
• DO NOT USE silicone as it will leave a dark witness
line which will be reflected in the cast panel.
Using a reveal:
Matching or joining Fluted or ribbed patterns end-to-end…
In most cases, it is extremely difficult (if not impossible) to join or match a fluted or
ribbed pattern end-to-end without a seam or a visible line reflected in the cast panel.
We recommend the use
of fillet, False joint or a
reveal to create either a
soft edge or hard edge
join between liner
sheets of either fluted or
ribbed patterns that
need to be joined
“end-to-end”.
Using a reveal:
Matching Fluted or ribbed patterns end-to-end…
The WRONG way…
Standard sheets cut down
to fit the project
parameters also have
visible seam lines across
this wall section.
These standard sized sheets were
simply butted against one another
without the use of a reveal.
There are highly visible seams
visible between end-to-end joins
Using a reveal:
Matching Fluted or ribbed patterns end-to-end…
The RIGHT way…

a reveal to join 2 sheets
end to end.

Release Agents and Bondbreaker
Fitzgerald Formliners have a long standing relationship with Nox-Crete™
and recommend the use of Nox-Crete™ products across all formliner types. Water based release
agents work best on plastic and urethane formliners. Solvents and petroleum-based form release agents
can attack both plastic and urethane liners.
For precast….
Bio-Nox™
Application Guidelines:
When using Single Use Fitzgerald
formliners in precast applications, Reid
recommends the use of NoxCrete®
BioNox™ an odourless, water-based
release agent which also keeps liners
cleaner when stripped and provides a
quality finish to the cast concrete element.
1. Mix Bio-Nox well before use using a drum or
pail agitator.
2. Application rates on a plastic formliner is
approximately 50-90m2/litre
3. Apply to the clean, reasonably dry formliner
using an #80005 tip at a minimum operating
pressure of 4 bar.
4. Avoid puddles, runs and excessive spray drifts.
5. Promptly wipe up excess material with towels
For tilt up…
Application Guidelines:
SilcoSeal Select™
For use on site, Reid recommends
NoxCrete® SilcoSeal Select™
Bondbreaker on Fitzgerald single
use formliners. SilcoSeal Select™
produces a crisp clean break,
greatly reduces lifting suction and
eliminates residue which
affects paint adhesion.
1. Mix SilcoSeal in the drum/sprayer before use.
2. Attach a fine nozzle (#800067) to the sprayer
3. With the formliners fixed into position, remove all
dust, debris and contaminants.
4. Apply a light coat of SilcoSeal to the formliner
using minimum pressure of 4 bar.
5. Allow it the first coat to dry.
6. Apply a second coat at 90° to the first, and allow
it to dry.
