“I recently stained the back patio which had been covered in green outdoor carpet for about 30 years. After much elbow grease and with the assistance of your Bean-e-doo Mastic Remover, I was able to apply your concrete acid stain. I was going for a marble granite look, and got it. Many thanks for the technical support.”

“I’ve looked into concrete pigments for coloring plaster a number of times in the past. The liquid ones you can get at home improvement stores for concrete or grout never seem to work- they either take days to fully dry, never dry at all, or leave the castings really brittle. The problem with dry pigments, though, is that most places seem to only sell in 25 or 50 lb. quantities. Direct Colors sells 4 oz. and 8 oz. samples for $10 and $15, respectively. I bought a 4oz packet of the reddish color for making bricks, and a little goes a long long way. The pigments are really strong, and they are completely inert (I called and asked before ordering) so they don’t inhibit the plaster from setting. Great product.”

“This was a customer that had to replace some pavers right in the middle of his driveway. He did not like the mismatched concrete paver colors. I used three coats of the Charcoal Liquid Colored Antique to create a match and sealed with the Sprayable Satin Finish Sealer. It really shows the variety of applications for the liquid antique. Customer could not tell the new from the old. And it still looks natural. Thanks again!”
