The invention relates to a formwork panel element for shuttering a curable building material, having a frame (2) and having a multilayer formwork skin (3) fastened to the frame (2). The formwork skin (3) has a support panel (4) and a rigid wear panel (5). The support panel (4) is fastened to the frame (2). The wear panel (5) is releasably fixed to the support panel (4). A front side (5a) of the wear panel (5) facing away from the support panel (4) is designed as a surface in contact with the building material. The support panel (4) is fastened to the frame (2) so that it is resistant to tensile stress and shearing, in such a way that the support panel (4) supports the frame (2) statically, the support panel (4) being connected to the frame (2) in a non-releasable manner, or in a manner allowing release under certain conditions.

The invention comprises a product. The product comprises a first removable concrete form having a concrete forming face and a first insulating panel insert having a first primary surface and an opposite second primary surface, wherein the second primary surface of the first insulating panel insert contacts the concrete forming face of the first removable concrete form. The product also comprises an elongate anchor member having an enlarged portion and an elongate portion, the elongate portion having a first end and an opposite second end, wherein the enlarged portion is disposed adjacent the first end and contacts the second primary surface of the first insulating panel insert and wherein the elongate portion extends through the first insulating panel insert and extends outwardly from the first primary surface of the first insulating panel insert. A method of using a removable insulated concrete form system is also disclosed.

An adjustable form for installing across an opening at an edge of a concrete slab includes a form member having a first form portion and a second form portion slidably connected to reach an adjustable effective length of the form member. The adjustable form further includes an extension mechanism connected between the first and second form portions and is operable to vary the effective length of the form member to fit across the opening. Tension exerted between the first and second form portions at the effective length is sufficient to keep the adjustable form in place.

Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture provide for a mold system for molding structures (e.g., sand castles) from one or more various types of molding substances (e.g., sand, clay, snow). In one embodiment, a mold system comprises a split mold comprising at least two mold sections. In one embodiment, a modular mold system allows for different types of mold sections with corresponding joining elements to be joined together to create forms for molding various types of structures. In some embodiments, mold sections are configured to facilitate the breaking of a vacuum created when molding substances are packed into the mold system, thus making it easier to separate a mold from the formed structure.
