Concrete Edge 2" Grande OG
Product Detail:
Re-usable edge form liner to create a detailed edge on concrete.
"Grande OG" edge detail.
Made of extremely durable polyurethane that can flex and stay strong.
Can be used in pre-cast or poured in place concrete work.
Cut to length easily with a utility knife. Join cut pieces using silicone.
Fast and easy to place in a mold, and quick to clean after use.
Good for hundreds of uses- Actually gets better with each use.
Product Specifications:
Measurements: 95"L x 2"H.
Mold Setup:
Place in mold and either silicone in place, or screw through a backing form into the Edge Form Liner (screw holes will disappear once you back the screws out).
Silicone a bead across the full length of the bottom of the Edge Form Liner to create a water-tight seal.
Use of form release is recommended, but usually not necessary. Form release generally will create a smoother finish on the concrete.
Vibrate concrete well, or use fingers along entire length of Form Liner to remove as many air pocket voids as possible.
Edge Liner Removal:
After the concrete is sufficiently set up (typically 2-3 days), remove the Edge Form Liner.
Removal is simple- start on one end, and slowly peel the Form Liner away from the concrete.
Concrete usually will have small 'bumps' which can be sanded off with a 200 grit sandpaper. These bumps tend to disappear the more the Edge Form Liner is used, as it becomes seasoned.
Fill any air pocket voids with a slurry mix. Cenospheres (sold separately here) make slurry fill voids more easily, and with less shrinkage.
Edge Liner Care:
Clean with a stiff brush and water after each use. Any silicone left on the forms should be peeled or scraped off (the sooner the easier to remove). Any hardened concrete can usually be removed using a wire brush.
*Occasional imperfections may be present on the Edge Form Liners, and can be altered using a sharp utility knife, or a very abrasive sand paper or resin-bound grinding discs.
