Form Release Agent

Product Description

Mix the surface retarder well and apply a full body coat by brush, roller, or sprayer to cover about 150-350 ft2/gal (3.5-8.5 m2/L), depending on the type used.

Strip the panels after adequate curing, and pressure wash, dry brush, or lightly sand blast to create the desired finish.
