Finish for Cement/Concrete
#1
I am looking for product for the acid/etching of cement/concrete. I know DAVE AND SOPHIE did it up at their place. Anyone able to tell me where to find the product for this process?

Generally that would be muriatic acid, which removes the lime and any crud that's stained it, or to open up the surface for a stain or paint.
I think there is a substitute that's a little safer, but if outside the muriatic isn't so bad with caution.

Go to Hilo Wire Products - Whitecap. They sell the acid (color) and sealers.
Note: Concrete should cure 28 days prior to staining.
Brickform is brand.

Pam, there are two different concrete staining type products. Back when we contemplated staining, the only info we could find was on acid staining.... very bad for our metal framing, so we went to tile...

Only later did I find out about soy based stains, much more gentle on the environment & the house framing
The product a friend of ours used was:

but there are others
