Based on what I have read here if I'm going to use Sonotube, it would be
very wise to find some way to brace it internally.


Not exactly rocket science. Get a bunch of 2x2 clear pine, some 3 1/2" dry
wall screws, a 1/8" drill, and some construction adhesive.


Onw of the real big problems with these concrete forms
is that they are wax-coated (first to prevent water
from soaking in to them when they're filled with
concrete, secondly to make it easy to strip them off
once they're done.

The wax coating makes the use of any adhesive-based
solution a real challenge.

Possibly, there is some other brand of tubing that would be thicker and
possibly more rigid.


If you're so committed to marrying these things, what's
wrong with the idea of taking two forms of somewhat different
diameter and filling the space between them with sand?
