Product Detail:
- Powder Release is used to prevent concrete stamps and tools from sticking to the fresh concrete.
- Generally used to stamp decorative concrete (Concrete Stamp Mats sold here), and create a different color in the finished concrete in areas where the stamp or tool was pushed into the concrete.
- LITHOCHROME™ Antiquing Release powder provides a natural, weathered antique appearance that accents the depth of the pattern and adds realistic variation to imprinted or textured concrete.
- A darker color of release is generally used over a lighter colored concrete for better appearance of relief and depth.
