QC LIQUID RELEASE is a non-pigment method for releasing mat-type texturing tools from the surface. QC LIQUID RELEASE is an alternative in situations when QC RELEASE POWDER may be prohibitive.
QC LIQUID RELEASE is applied just before placement of most mat-type imprinting tools during the plastic stage of set.
Apply QC LIQUID RELEASE by misting the surface with a pump-up type sprayer equipped with a fan tip. Apply enough QC LIQUID RELEASE to evenly cover the area to be immediately imprinted (150-200 square feet) while avoiding evapouration of the material prior to using texturing mats.
QC LIQUID RELEASE may be removed as soon as the concrete has hardened to the point where it will not scratch or mar easily (normally 2-3 days). Pressure-washing the surface is the typical removal method. For hard-to-remove release or for heavy texture work with release, a mild muriatic solution may be used (15 parts water: 1 part muriatic acid).
