Concrete Floor Stains can be used on the interior or exterior. While some companies may tell you that some Concrete Floor Acid Stain colors may be more sensitive to moisture and can not be used on the exterior the Artistic Decor System stains can be used on just about any concrete surface. They are also UV stable and will not fade on an exterior surface.

Acid Stain is not for every concrete floor. The concrete MUST be bare. There can be no sealers, curing compounds, bond breakers, paints, etc. on the surface. The surface must be clean and free of grease or any other contamination that would prevent the reaction from occurring? If you do have any of these substances on your concrete they will need to be removed before you stain.

Acid Stain is not a paint or a sealer. Acid Stain colors the concrete by creating a chemical reaction. A solution with acid, inorganic salts and water reacts with minerals (free lime) that are already present in the concrete. This reaction creates color. This color is permanent and will not fade or peel as will other "concrete stains".

You can if you want to, but we recommend leaving it unfinished. The interior is not exposed to the elements like the exterior is, and does not require the protection of a good stain.

Basically they can be. The only thing to consider with exterior countertops is that they are subject to the elements. Rain, hail, snow, freezing and sunlight. These factors should be put into consideration when planning and building an exterior grade concrete countertop. Make sure the finish will hold up and the concrete uses colorfast agents to maintain its look.

SURFACE PREP is the most important step. If the surface is not thoroughly clean and free of all sealers, curing compounds, bond breakers and paints, then the Acid Stain will not react and the job will not be a success. We recommend the use of a mild acidic detergent to open the pores in the concrete and clean the concrete surface properly and remove as many of the stains on the concrete as possible.

When you're looking for a painted-kind-of-look to match you home exterior, or when the deck has been totally neglected, solid stains hide and conceal any cosmetic imperfections that the lumber may have.

The Acid Stain should sit on the surface for at least 2-4 hours. You can leave it sit longer. The longer you let it sit, the darker the color will be. It is common for the stain to sit overnight before the residue is removed especially with the colors, black, blue and green. If you are staining a polymer concrete overlay two hours is usually all you have to leave the stain on for.

A second application of Acid Stain may be applied after the residue has been removed. This will provide a darker affect. Since you are only using water to remove the residue instead ammonia or baking soda as some stains require you to do there is no reason you can't apply another coat to darker the stain on your floor.

No. Concrete acid stain is not a topical coat like paint or acrylic stains. It penetrates the surface and chemically stains the concrete surface. acrylic stain is basically a tinted sealer. An acrylic clear sealer with paint pigments added. When using acrylic stains, you are being tricked into painting your concrete. acid stain penetrates the surface and reacts with the cement and minerals within the concrete to chemically change the color of the concrete's surface.

One of the most important considerations in defining the end use performance is weatherability. Outdoor exposure results in absorption of ultraviolet energy. This energy can attack the organic binder and result in gloss loss and color change. Due to a tendency to chalk, epoxies and epoxy containing hybrids are generally not recommended for outdoor use when aesthetics is a primary concern.

Ans: The insulating additive will help keep the deck cooler while providing a slightly slip resistant surface.

Actually you can but we do not recommend it. Our clear UV GUARD, UV GUARD II Exterior Wood Finish and UV GUARD Deck & Fence Coating, which are the basis of all of the colored versions of these products, have specific chemical UV blockers and stabilizers, but all logs will age/darken under any non-film forming stain and this will be more noticeable under a clear/transparent stain. Additionally the pigments act as additional sun blockers/reflectors giving a longer life to the finish.

On some pipes, yes. I use a combination of alcohol and water soluable dyes. I'll never use an oil based stain.

Summit Door, Inc. does not specifically recommend one particular kind of stain or varnish over another. Please see our finishing instructions sections for more information.

Only alcohol based non-toxic stains are used. Even after the pipe becomes warmed up there is no "off gassing" such as petroleum based stains nor are there any spotting or leaking from analine or water based dyes.

Most clients prefer to stain the house. These are available in many shades and hues and are available widely. There are UV repellant brands which make it possible to prevent fading over time. However should you decide to use paint any oil based paint is satisfactory.

Stain should be applied first, prior to the application of any caulking or chinking, and allowed to thoroughly dry (24-72 hours after the last coat of stain depending on the weather). On new construction, this will be after the walls are erected, the roof is on, the windows have been installed, and any cleaning/borate treatments have been applied.

No. Truderma alone should be enough to get rid of your acne. Using Truderma with additional products that contain salicylic acid will most likely result in your face getting red, dry or start peeling.

Yes. HCl is an acceptable alternative. The use of H2SO4 or H3PO4 is not recommended because their boiling points are too high and will damage Teflon and other polymers.

Acid ionized water is destructive to bacteria and is astringent. As a result it has found widespread application commercially in: nurseries, surgeries, food preparation areas, sprout and wheatgrass growers, florists, hospitals, etc. In the home it is an excellent cleansing and sterilizing agent, with uses in the kitchen, for hair and skin care, extending the life of flowers, promoting plant growth and many others. The acid water is a 'free' bonus.
