Kushlan Products KURB KIT - Manual (Page 2)

HOW-TO USE THE KUSHLAN KURB KIT
5. Complete the first step of installing your kit and continue to move forward until your desired amount of curb is
installed.
6. Ringing Trees: Install the curb the same way as your lawn when ringing trees. You will be able to tell how small
a circumference you can lay by the tension on the curb sides. Use the barn nails to keep the ring in place. Use
the same mixing and finishing instructions as above.
7. You have now completed your curb. You need to wait up to 24 hours before walking on. A hint to a stronger curb
would be to “mist” it with water every 8 hours or so after installation to allow a slower “curing” time and a stronger
curb.
Hints for a nicer look.
Have you got an “exposed aggregate” patio, walkway or driveway? You can match that finish to a certain extent by
using this “hidden secret” of the trade.
1. You must use a ready-mix with rock.
2.
After installation of your curb, take a spray bottle that has been filled with “GRAPE SODA”, YES, I SAID
GRAPE SODA!
3. Start at the beginning of the curb and spray a good amount of soda on the top and sides that you want
exposed. This will stop the chemical reaction of the drying process only where you sprayed it.
4. Wait approximately 4 hours.
5. Take your hose or pressure washer and go back and spray the top until you see rock exposed and a
“cream” runs off the top and sides. Be careful not to spray to close to make “holes” or “chip away” the
curb. You just want to give it a good enough spray to remove the top layer of cream, exposing your rock
or aggregate.
Coloring your curb:
Coloring concrete has become very popular among the “professionals” of the trade, and quite expensive. You
too can have this “custom” look in your own landscape curbing.
1. Go to your local home center store and buy either 1 lb boxes of color or liquid bottles of color. The most
popular colors are red brick and tan. They both go very well with most landscapes.
2. When mixing your concrete, mix the color right into the mix. This will ensure even coloring throughout
your curb and look Fantastic!
3. The recipe for coloring: 1 box or bottle per 1 60lb bag of ready-mix
One more thing…
Sealing your curb for that “WET” look.
Go to your local home center store and ask for “concrete sealer”. They will be able to direct you and show
you the sealer that will leave not only a nice “sheen” but also protect your curb for years to come!
