Ok it's been at least one day since someone else said it, I so want to strip it! :)
I may do that sooner than later this week!! There is some benefit to leaving the forms on to keep the moisture in and slow down the curing time of the concrete but it's been a week and a few days now so it's very tempting... :p

You know I am pulling your chain, I have worked around new concrete, your re bar looked great, no intention to second guess you. :)

For sure, no worries at all!! ;) I'm sure we are good to remove the forms... it's been 10 days since the pour!

Epoxy or fiberglass are my options for sealing on the inside so far…
That Sherwin Williams Epoxy I used on mine is extremely easy to use and really durable. It is designed to be used on concrete. You may want to check it out.
