The Stamped Concrete Process

Step 1 - FORMING Form the area you plan on pouring and stamping accordingly.

Step 2 - ADDING COLOR When using integral color, add the specified amount of color per yard as premeasured by the bucket, and have them mix them for a minimum of 5 minutes or until mixed thoroughly.

Step 3 - BULL FLOATING THE CONCRETE SURFACE With Integral Color, you don't have to over work the surface which is a common problem with Color Hardeners in freeze thaw environments. Bull float the surface until it closes up and you're to stamp.

Step 4 - APPLY THE RELEASE When the concrete is ready to stamp apply your desired release agent to the surface. Your release agent acts as a barrier between the concrete and you stamp, while giving you that antique appearance after washing off.

Step 5 - STAMPING CONCRETE The benefit of Stampcrete would include the authentic appearance you receive as well as the durability in the stamp itself.

Step 6 - WASHING OFF EXCESS RELEASE AGENT Remove the desired amount of release to your liking leaving enough to accent the print lines and achieving an antique appearance.

Step 7 - SEALING THE SURFACE After the surface is completely dry and free of moisture apply two coats of either solvent based sealer.

Step 8 - FINISHED STAMPCRETE SURFACE What you have as a result is an aesthetically beautiful surface that anyone would be proud to own.
