When is Acid Stain Gel the Right Product for the Job?

DIY Deco Gel Acid Stain Project Ideas

“I’ve been using liquid acid stain products but was having some issues with drips/runs on wall surfaces. I found your Deco Gel acid stain gel while searching on the internet. What a great product. Will certainly find many more uses for it. Deco Gel is cleaner and easier to apply with less prep work to the surrounding areas.

I have included a couple of pics that just don’t do justice to the actual finish look. It was awesome and my customer was thrilled. This is an exterior shower stall/bath house at the cottage. I used your Cola and Coffee Brown Deco Gel stains. Thanks for all the technical help. Thanks again and looking forward to new products to try!”

Deco Gel Stained Shower

Acid Stain Gel Shower

Deco Gel Acid Stain has been specifically designed for use on vertical applications, such as retaining walls, columns or garden décor, including statuary and cultured rocks. Deco Gel can be used in conjunction with our liquid acid stain for projects that have both vertical and horizontal surfaces.

Deco Gel Acid Stain Gel is perfect for stenciling and borders on acid stained floor or concrete countertop projects. Because the product doesn’t drip or run, Deco Gel gives our customers more application control without sacrificing color or the appearance the acid staining process is known for. Not mention opening the door to any creative concrete decor and design use imaginable.

Deco Gel is also available in individual sample sizes and sample kits for smaller projects and testing. View our Deco Gel Photo Gallery and Blog for project and color ideas.

Direct Colors Testimonials

“I finally have my patio together. I cannot explain in words how much your support helped my husband and I fix our first failed attempt with the acid stain. If you recall, my concrete was previously acid etched so the acid stain did not react. You directed us to try the Liquid Antique Concrete Stain which we did and this magical stain color came out perfectly matching the tone of my brick that we wanted. Thank you again so much and I hope you can use these pictures for your site and spread them like wildfire because you guys are awesome!”

“I do want to let you know that we genuinely appreciate the help and guidance that you and your company has provided. My wife has had email correspondence with someone there and she is very pleased with the level of service she’s received, and I’ve called a couple of times to discuss concrete acid stain and I have also received excellent customer service. Our overall experience has been wonderful and our acid stained floors look awesome. So a very sincere thank you to you and your staff.”

Adrian S. – Indianapolis, IN

“The cornhole game artwork was completed using the Basic Red and White Concrete Dye. When we pulled the adhesive template absolutely nothing came off, it went perfect. They still do not have a sealant, so will be even shinier when done but these are stunning… Thank you!”

K. Pettengill, Stone Age Table Tennis – Roseburg, OR

“Our stamped concrete decks were weather worn and faded. Your Liquid Colored Antique product is so easy to train people on how to apply. What a surface appearance transformation on our patio areas and what a great product! Again thank you for your help and for your antiquing product.”

“Direct Colors is all I use. Best decorative concrete products available from concrete acid stain to concrete dyes. They are always there to help.”

Paul S. – Harrah, OK

“Acid stain is the only way to go. It’s cost effective, durable, and lasts longer than linoleum or carpet. I wouldn’t go any other route. I recommend it on every job we do now. I think Direct Colors has a quality concrete acid stain product. Everything I’ve bought comes from Direct Colors. I don’t think I’d go anywhere else.”

Randy W. – Aguilar, CO

“I used your products to concrete acid stain our basement floor several years ago. I love the result and have had many compliments. Another supplier urged me to “leave it to a professional” but DCI how-to instructions helped me to do it myself and I’m so glad I did!”

Jean W. – Rosebud, MO

For my first time concrete staining, I made over this basement with filled-in swimming pool. The pool and edge had 2 different colors/ages of concrete, so I created a very busy design with bright white “grout” to draw the eye away from the pool outline. Concrete Acid Stain colors Malayan Buff and Coffee Brown were used for the squares, Cola and Black for the border. The floor was sealed with Krystal Kote Water Based Sealer. Now this place is almost ready for play! Hopefully a concrete countertop will be our next upgrade.
