Concrete Acid Stain can be applied using many different techniques. The information below is by no means the only way to complete the project; however, this method is appropriate for most acid stain applications.
How Concrete Acid Stain Works
Concrete Acid Stain is a water-based liquid bearing minerals and acid. The acid stain penetrates the pores of the concrete forcing a chemical reaction between the muriatic acid and the available lime in the surface. Once acid stained, the color of the concrete is permanently altered. When sealed with an appropriate concrete sealer and for indoor applications, sealed and waxed, acid stain produces the unique, variegated finish associated with this process.
