Product Expert Notes
A scratcher darby is used early in slab finishing, once bleed water has evaporated, to open the surface for bonding or later float passes. Clean the scratching surface between passes so it does not smear. If you need full 3 ft darby coverage for large pours, pair this with a straight darby from the same tool line.
Wear gloves and knee protection when working over fresh concrete, and avoid touching treated surfaces with bare skin.
