• What is the Kaleido<strong>Crete</strong> system?<br />
The Kaleido<strong>Crete</strong> system consists of three reciprocal impacting tools that are<br />
used with design templates to engrave existing concrete anywhere. Rather<br />
than using a blade to cut the concrete, Kaleido<strong>Crete</strong> tools use high-speed<br />
impactor teeth to strike the concrete surface, knocking off tiny bits to leave a<br />
detailed cut. Usually the concrete is stained prior to engraving to bring out the<br />
design.<br />
• What are the tools?<br />
The largest tool in the Kaleido<strong>Crete</strong> family is the Mochton Stylus Shark. It has<br />
64 high-speed impactor teeth and is perfect for the largest engraving jobs.<br />
The mid-sized Mochton Stylus Barracuda has 29 replaceable impactors and is<br />
great for getting into hard-to-reach places and cutting intricate designs.<br />
The Mini-Mochton Stylus Wasp has a single reciprocating cutter, known as a<br />
Stinger, and works well for touch-ups and adding the finest of details.<br />
The tools are sold separately, or the entire system is available in the Kaleido-<br />
<strong>Crete</strong> Pro Pack.<br />
• What can Kaleido<strong>Crete</strong> be used for?<br />
These super-versatile tools can change concrete of any age to thousands of<br />
patterns and designs, whether it be simple flagstones or the most intricate<br />
corporate logo. Kaleido<strong>Crete</strong> can be used by itself or with any of the other<br />
<strong>Engrave</strong>-A-<strong>Crete</strong> systems to add decorative or functional elements to living<br />
spaces, walkways, patios, pool decks, basements, garage floors, retail spaces<br />
or anywhere you have plain, gray existing concrete. And don’t overlook vertical<br />
surfaces! Kaleido<strong>Crete</strong> tools are great for engraving garden walls, steps,<br />
basement walls, or adding house numbers and other design elements to<br />
exterior walls. The possibilities are absolutely endless!<br />
• Where do I get designs?<br />
Choose from our most popular template designs featured in this catalog, or<br />
browse through hundreds of other images on our website. If you don’t find<br />
what you’re looking for, give us a call. We have an unpublished library of over<br />
100,000 designs and corporate logos. We can also fabricate a custom template<br />
from your photo, line drawing, or idea in any size you need. We can create<br />
anything you can imagine!<br />
• Can I reuse the templates?<br />
Kaleido<strong>Crete</strong> templates are precision manufactured from dense plastic panels.<br />
They are waterproof, UV stable, impact resistant, and can be cleaned and used<br />
over and over. Many templates are reversible, so you can use both sides to<br />
get more life out of them. Kaleido<strong>Crete</strong> templates will flex over most bumps<br />
in the concrete without cracking or breaking. When finished, simply lay them<br />
flat and they will return to their original shape. All Kaleido<strong>Crete</strong> templates are<br />
100% recyclable.<br />
