About Zyglide Liquid Release
Zyglide Liquid Release is essential to ensuring the roller doesn't pick up concrete while it is being used, Zyglide is available in 5 litre or 25 litre volumes and should be applied neat to the roller in an even manner. The ideal manner to apply Zyglide to the Hex Roller would be by spraying it on, but using a brush to carefully apply the liquid can be equally effective.
Tips for usage
Ensure you have ample reach on the slab we would suggest 4 to 5 metres to ensure the pattern stays straight, this is a two man job as when the roller gets to the far edge someone will have to pick the roller up and place it correctly so the pattern is uniform as it is pulled back towards the operative.
The true artform of this process and key to a successful outcome is firstly the mix of concrete used and secondly timing. Knowing when the concrete is ready to receive the texturing roller is critical. In regards to the concrete mix we would advise a pump mix containing a high sand content with a 4 inch slump.
