New shop acid stain

[kmoon]

It was a lot of work but I hope it will last some time. This was from Direct color.

Looks cool!

wow that looks awesome!

 

[srleen2]

Can you tell us more details on how you did it and prep and what products you used - and how much time and cost?

srleen2: I can't speak for the OP but with our similar products, using a good sealer can range from less than 1.00 psqft to 1.30 psqft.

Always want to use a sealer worthy of garage traffic and chemicals to protect the art-work.

Would acid stain and a good sealer be appropriate for a covered concrete patio that might see blown in rain? Slippery when wet?

kmoon - the floor looks great.

Absolutely. Seal with a good MMA sealer.

Dc73 I first started with buffer and diamond head on it then finished with 80 grit. I needed to level some trial lines. I then sprayed the acid on then waited 24 hours or so, then mopped with neutralizer. I waited 2 days before I sprayed 5 gallons 2-3 coats of sealer. I have with buffer rental 825.00 in this 1200 sq feet shop. I still need to wax it.

I did 1200sf of acid stained concrete in my old place. I ended up applying the acid twice,, the 2nd time at a higher strength to get the color I wanted. I sealed it with the recommended sealer. It held up well except where my desk chair set. It wasn't a roller chair and the legs eventually wore through the acid stain in that area.

Old Tools,

Thanks I'll watch for the ware and try to recoat. I did two coats on my floor too I just didn't clean between coats. I waited about 3-4 hours.

Same here, any updates? How is it holding up? What product did you use to seal/clear it?

 

[kmoon]

All,

This is holding up good. I don't clean it as much as I should but the finish is good. BTW the top coat is Acrylic xylene-based.
