Which action is specified for the ends of form liners?

• A. Start and end form liners with a reveal
• B. Seal the ends with epoxy
• C. Use metal brackets at ends
• D. Leave ends unmodified

Answer: (A)

In tilt-up form liner installations, finishing the liner runs with a reveal ensures the texture and pattern terminate cleanly at panel edges. The reveal provides a deliberate, uniform edge where one liner ends and the next begins, so adjacent panels line up consistently and the texture doesn’t abruptly cut off. This helps avoid visible seams or irregularities in the final surface and supports predictable panel-to-panel alignment as the forms are stripped and the concrete cures. Sealing the ends with epoxy, using metal brackets at the ends, or leaving ends unmodified would not provide that controlled, consistent termination and could lead to uneven texture or misalignment. Therefore, starting and ending with a reveal is the specified practice.
