I need to make a form for a concrete base would polycarbonate plastic sheeting be good to use for the sides instead of wood. I have plenty of this stuff going for the bin at work so to save the pennies i could grab some.

Thanks.

I've seen civil builders use kingspan the other day so plastic would be a lot better than that.
