Description
The Lexan Float is a versatile and essential tool for achieving professional results with concrete projects, particularly when using White Countertop Mix. Made from Lexan polycarbonate, this float offers several advantages over traditional magnesium or aluminum floats. Its lightweight construction reduces fatigue during use, while also preventing the transfer of color from the metallic surface to the concrete, ensuring a clean, pristine finish.
When using the Lexan Float, start by screeding the concrete to achieve a flat surface. Then, use the float to further flatten and smooth the top, while also opening the pores of the fresh concrete. This process allows bleed water to evaporate and air to escape, resulting in a stronger, more durable finished product.
It’s important to note that when using White Countertop Mix, the Lexan Float is the only float that should be used. This is because other floats can transfer color to the concrete, leading to discoloration. Once the concrete is firm enough and all bleed water has evaporated, the Chrome Finishing Trowel should be used to prevent any burn or discoloration when using White Concrete, ensuring a flawless finish every time.
