NET COVERAGE RATE:
- Coverage is dependent on the age, porosity, weather, and composition of the concrete. A definite coverage rate cannot be determined because every scenario is different. However, as a general rule, 200-400 square feet per gallon should be average yield.
APPLICATION:
- An acid resistant sprayer should be used. Tape off walls or other areas to avoid overspray. Dampen concrete with water but do not puddle. Spray in an overlapping manner, maintaining a wet edge. Allow ACID STAIN to react for at least 6 hours. We suggest leaving the stain on overnight or 12 to 24 hours to achieve the maximum color. Clean residue and pour water on floor to approximate the final color. If darker color is desired, apply second coat. Concrete must be fully neutralized. Clean residue from floor with BrandBold Brilliance Concrete NEUTRALIZER & DEGREASER using an acid brush. Repeat. Rinse with clean water and mop up excess water. A Wet-Vac may be used. Rinse with clean water until rinse water is free of color and you wipe floor without picking up color. Concrete must be completely free of residue. Expect to rinse with clean water several times. Once dry, test the readiness of the concrete by wiping floor with a white cloth. If it shows residue rinse and dry again. Repeat until no residue remains.
We recommend you Test an inconspicuous area to be sure that acid stain reacts with concrete and color meets expectation before proceeding. Test for water seep by taping plastic on one square foot of floor. Remove plastic the following day. If floor is wet, you should not stain and seal floor.If concrete is dusty, do not proceed until densified.
All steps must be followed to achieve desired outcome. The color of the bottle may also be a different color than you expect, this is the stain formulation and it will render the final color after the reaction occurs and sealer is applied. Final colors will vary from color chart as colors may appear different on computer screen than actual stain.
