Product Application
***Please refer to the Product Data Page for full Product Application information.
FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY.
H&C Dry-Shake Color Hardener is applied by hand broadcasting evenly onto newly or freshly placed concrete once the concrete reaches the point where no bleed water remains on the surface. In order to develop proper bond and adequate density, the moisture for wetting the hardener must come from the actual concrete substrate. H&C Dry-Shake Color Hardener is often applied in two shakes, with two-thirds of the desired applied in the first shake or broadcast, and one-third in the second shake. After the first shake, the surface must be floated. Apply the second shake perpendicular to the first application in a uniform manner and float in or trowel to achieve the desired finish. Control Joints should be applied as soon as possible and care should be taken when hard troweling to prevent burns, especially around tooled joints and edges.
Clean Up
Use H&C Cleaner Degreaser 1-part to 3-parts water to clean tools and surrounding areas.
