V-Crete Color Release
Colored stamping-tool releasing powder
V-CRETE COLOR RELEASE contains a specially formulated releasing agent that forms a moisture barrier between the stamping tools and wet concrete, allowing easy release of imprinting tools. It is a dry-shake material applied directly on top
of the concrete surface treated with V-CRETE COLOR HARDENER prior to stamping. The colored releasing agent contains iron-oxide pigments that add color and depth to the stamped surface.
Stamped Concrete
Sand Faced Concrete
Exposed Aggregate Concrete
- Preparation: All surrounding areas should be protected from dust contamination.
- Application: After all color hardener is applied and/or final troweling is completed, and when bleed water has evaporated from the surface, V-CRETE COLOR RELEASE should be applied.
- Broadcast Procedure: Empty half of the contents of one bag into a clean, dry container and aerate material to loosen any compaction before broadcasting onto a surface. Apply lightly and evenly over area using a casting motion, using caution in windy conditions. Two applications may be required for uniform coverage. We recommend that you apply one or two rows ahead of the stamping tools rather than covering the entire surface at once.
- Finishing: After stamping and after the concrete has set and dried, remove the excess color by rinsing with potable water. Use a lighter, quicker rinsing action for the grout lines and deeper indentations. Removing most of the release from the high spots and leaving more of the color in the deeper areas will enhance antique effect for a beautiful, more natural finish.
