What happens here

Eric uses a hand-pump sprayer to apply a release agent to the inner surfaces of the wooden forms that define the edges of the patio. This step is performed before the concrete is poured against the forms to prevent the concrete from adhering, ensuring a clean and easy removal of the formwork once the concrete has hardened.

Goal: Prepare the formwork for clean removal after concrete sets.

where you want underneath underneath yes so it's just the score I'll show you here so it's just a score so these are about an inch and a quarter I actually have these custom made for myself from a machine shop everybody asked me that but this is an inch and a quarter and it scores the concrete it's it's four inches deep so you're going about 25 the thickness of the slab and that's enough of a score so when that concrete cracks it's going to crack right in that score almost every time there's no guarantees
