For this reason stamped concrete allows homeowners or installers to add color and texture to the concrete creating a new look for the surface.
How to use liquid release for stamped concrete.
During the stamping process installers use a liquid or powdered release agent to stop the stamps from sticking to or scratching the concrete surface.
It is accomplished by adding a certain amount of powdered release to a certain volume of clear liquid release.
Liquid release is suitable for use on interior and exterior applications.
The resulting solution is a sprayable liquid that imparts a secondary color to stamped concrete while alleviating some of the problems encountered when using powdered.
Tinted liquid release is often made by the contractor in the field.
It forms a lubricating barrier between the texture tool and the concrete preventing the tool from sticking to the concrete.
Surerelease provides a lubricating barrier that protects and prolongs the life of stamping mats also.
Liquid release is a colorless liquid designed for use with texture mats and stamps.
If you plan to use a tinted liquid release agent add the tint a day or two beforehand if possible.
This will allow the pigment particles to fully dissolve.
To apply a liquid release agent use a pump type sprayer to apply the release in a uniform layer onto the surface of the concrete right before you stamp.
