For wet, impressed concrete, the color release liquid can be used in conjunction with a clear release liquid to provide similar pigment embedment as powdered release without the mess and with more pigment dispersion control.

Spray the colored release onto the surface using a pump sprayer as you would use for clear release liquid. The color will lighten as the concrete cures, so may appear slightly darker when applied. Spray the stamping tool and the pigmented surface of the concrete with clear liquid release agent to prevent pigments sticking to the mat. DO NOT SPRAY THE COLOR RELEASE LIQUID DIRECTLY ONTO THE STAMPING TOOL. This can cause the tool to improperly release from the surface.

This pigmented liquid can be used on dry and acid stained surfaces as a coloring or antiquing agent. On flat surfaces, the pigment will collect where you spray it most heavily. On textured surfaces, the pigment will flow to the lowest part of the impression, adding natural looking highlights. The liquid vehicle evaporates, leaving the pigment to shadow the surface. The surface must then be sealed to maintain the color and placement of the pigment particles.

Direct Colors Liquid Color Release and Antique can be used to even color in small batch overlays or to correct over-hydration color bleed.

For dry applications as antiquing fluid, or wet application as colored release, this Liquid will eliminate clean up costs and mess, decreasing labor and providing contractors with a cost effective tool for all their decorative work.

Standard, powder releases use percentage of pigment load to control the color. This liquid works under the same principles, but the dispersion vehicle, rather than inhibiting the placement of pigment for lighter shades, evaporates to leave only the pigment. Color shading control is fully in the hands of the applicator. The more an area is saturated with the coloring liquid, the more pigment will be dispersed, allowing the contractor to fully control his color project and provide virtually an infinite range of color depth.

Coverage rate depends on porosity of the concrete, level of color required and many other factors. Average coverage rate is 750 to 1000 sq. ft. per five gallon pail of color liquid.

By using separate applications of different colors, unique and personal effects can be created, allowing the contractor to more easily tailor a project to the expectations of the client.

This liquid contains a dispersant to maintain even distribution of pigment particles throughout the mix, but settling will occur. Stir or shake vigorously before pouring into the sprayer, and regularly agitate the mixture to prevent settling in the sprayer.
