Can I use wafer board when I form up for my garage stem wall?


Do you mean OSB? If so it will work but the pattern will telegraph to
the surface of the concrete. As long as it is below grade or you parge
it won't be a problem.

I hadn't heard of parging. In my area perhaps it is referred to as sacking?
I don't plan on parging. The OSB board has two surfaces. One side you can
see the chips. The other side has sort of a texture. I was thinking of
using the texture side. I would spray with concrete cure before I poured.
