is usually desirable in texture imprinted concrete.

APPLICATION
Numerous factors will significantly
affect the amount of antiquing ultimately obtained and the
projedct’s final appearance. Some of these factors include
timing, finishing, application and removal techniques, mix
design, surface texture, weather, color combinations, experience
in use of the materials, and sealing.
Immediately before imprinting or stamping,
DCF Antiquing Powder Release Agent should be applied by broadcst
method onto the freshly placed concrete just prior to stamping
at a rate of approximately 3-4 pounds per 100 square feet.
This Antiquing Release forms a bond breaking barrier that
helps prevent the stamping tool from sticking to the surface
of the concrete.
After the concrete has cured sufficiently
(7-10 days), the non-embedded Antiquing Release should be
removed by a high pressure determgent wash. To protect the
antiqued finish, enchance the beauty of the colors, and provide
for long lasting customer satisfaction, the surface should
be sealed with two coats of SelectGuard. See sealer data sheet
for detailed application methods.
COVERAGE
Coverage will be approximately 800
ft² per 30lb. pail.
