    Etching Concete

    I rinsed it out a lot yesterday after I etched it. It seems like the acid never comes out!!! Finally I think I got most of it out. Today I'm going to wash it again though just to make sure.

    Etching Concete

    I just got done acid washing my garage so that I can apply some Epoxy. Is it ok that I acid washed it today even though I am not going to start rolling on the epoxy until next weekend? I wanted to make sure that it thoroughly dried I just wasn't sure if I waited to long if anything would go wrong.
