or am i just thick cook?

the filo i got from turkish store today is much thicker than anything i've ever used, hard to handle and mould into shape of dish..
from the label i think its hand made and it says borek (just thought that meant for savoury)

should i go ahead and use my lovely tomato sauce, spinach and feta filling for pie thing or just abandon it..is it the wrong thing???

quick answers if poss
am in the middle of doing it and so on the dither right now

Have a look at this - it suggests that there are vaious types of borek and some are actually more like puff pastry than filo.
