Great Video. A friend of mine was talking about doing this to her floors and this was very informative.

I have a small covered front porch (6' x 6')that I'm planning on overlaying with 1 1/2 to 2" of redi-mix portland then freehand stamp a "cobblestone" or "paverstone" look on it. I want the "rustic" look as opposed to a smooth finish. The existing rocks in my landscaping are various shades of grey which I would like to mirror image on my porch. Would I be better off using a powder stain as opposed to an acid stain? remember, a variation in color scheme is what I'm going for. Thx in advance. Troy

@ToBigWillie

The Envirostains grey (TL) may give you the antiquing effects you want but using powder is always a viable alternative but will not give you the antiquing look that puddles in the veins and creates that natural stone look

There are far too few videos of this quality and utility on the u(seless)tube -- thank you ever so much!

@HerrDoktorBrown

Thank you sir

can you put a primer down to start to cover things that might not come up when cleaning i seen it done in another video just curious on anyones input

[jkgroom187]

@rickymewis1983

I personally have never heard of or used any kind of a primer with an acid stain as a primer would not allow the acid stain to penetrate the concrete and therefore react with the concrete to create the color change needed

[rickymewis1983]

@jkgroom187 i was planning not to do an acid wash

[jkgroom187]

@rickymewis1983

Then what you are planning to put down is basically a paint and if so then a primer would probably be a good idea but make sure to etch the surface in order to get a proper bond

If you are going to be in a high traffic area don't expect your"concrete stain" to last too long

Hope that helps

Very clear and helpful step by step directions!

We are half way through with the stain in a 2400 sq foot home. We applied the sealer with a sprayer. Spraying enough to cover, it became very thick and had little bubbles all through it. We hope they will be gone in the morning!! Any suggestions?
