We used this product to recolor/refinish cast stone river rock and it worked fantastic.
This is my first time using concrete stains. Typically, I use pigment powder but I wanted to try for a few projects. So far, I really liked how my pieces have turned out! Once I figure out best spray bottle/storage I will be ordering more colors.
I did this stain on a previous patio so wanted to use it again in our new home. I used 3 colors. The brown took over a lot of the color, but the golden sand helped to mellow it out.
We used the Grass Green and Sapphire Blue on a concrete block retaining wall. The blue was very vibrant with 3-4 coats and mixed with a water color effect with the green. We used a 4:1 ratio of water to pigment and were very happy with the results.
Great product, my handyman wants to start a business restaining weathered rock wall surfaces
I am a total novice! Between your great product and additional info from Chatbot, I was able to complete my project with total ease and got the results I wanted. Thank you!
So easy to apply, didn't have a harsh smell, and looks/feels amazing. We chose the matte finish and it looks like an upgraded version of the natural concrete. It feels so smooth to walk on without shoes and was the perfect way to finish our cleaned concrete floors in the basement. A great alternate option to etching/sealing if you don't need the full waterproof benefit. Love it and so happy for the employee recommendation.
I have used this product in the past on my pool deck and driveway. I tried another product and came back to this stain. Just completed my patio and am very pleased with the results!
It had to be thinned far more than reg concrete and once hard it was as stated sealed all seams like steel
Great product, worked exactly as described, very satisfied. Thinking about applying a second coat.
First time dealing with Concrete Resurrection. Very pleased with delivery execution and product
2nd time using it on my concrete pavers. After 3yrs time for a makeover. Las Vegas summers are tough on concrete
I was making preserved lemons in a large mason jar. It accidentally got knocked off of the fridge and shattered all over the counter. The lemon juice completely etched into the finish of the counter. I had no idea what to do! Then, this product came up and I figured that it couldn’t hurt to give it a try. It worked beautifully! I have applied the wax twice so far and the difference is amazing!
The stain is easy to apply, goes on evenly and looks great. I'm very impressed with the results!
I stained a section my patio. Here is photo of before and after staining -and after staining and sealing. This stuff was easy to use. Just follow the direction. The hardest part was getting the carpet glue off after removing the carpet. Finally had to rent a floor sander. Not bad for a 75 yr old woman and 48 yr old concrete
This is a great product if you like do-it-yourself projects. My wife and I were able to stain our new 1600 sq ft broomed concrete driveway in a day. We waited until the driveway was water cured and dried, about 3-4 weeks after pouring the concrete. Then we sprayed on, with a garden sprayer, a mixture of 1 part of Golden Sand and 2 parts of diluent CR-645. The driveway was neutralized with dilute ammonia after 1-2 hours and then washed off with a hose. After a few days the driveway was sealed by us by spraying on a DoT-approved silicate concrete sealer. And viola: the result was beautiful and water repellent, and we saved thousands of dollars doing it ourselves.
I saw beautiful pictures online but was skeptical if i could actually use it. It is super easy to use. This is NOT gel like, but very thin and watery. I was able to use a squeegie to move it around some though but had to move quickly to do that before it soaked in and dried. I did make some splashes but thats ok because we have to paint anyway. It is a good bit of product, but a little more pricey than other brands. It comes out yellow and gradually moves to a more rusty color. Blended beautifully with an acrylic paint mixture i made to create the green/blue color. I had quite a bit of stuck on glue left after removing old green carpet. I was hoping this might dye it a little but it doesn't so be aware of that. Excellent product! 5 out of 5. Am purchasing again to complete my entire hone & outdoor areas.
Black walnut, defiantly dark. If you're looking for dark brown almost black this is it. seems to continue working for hours after applying. results will be different on different types of concrete.
I used this on a polished concrete slab below a woodstove. I had to get a second color to achieve the exact look desired, but the final result is stunning. I wanted to pick up the colors of the natural stone wall behind the stove as well as some of the tone in the wood floor in the room. With a little experimenting I got exactly what I wanted. The result is a variegated natural looking effect that draws positive comments from visitors who often express complete surprise that it is actually concrete. The color has a lot of depth and changes subtly in different lighting, the effect is fantastic.This is a true stain, it can't be scratched off like a paint and the color is deep into the concrete. Directions were sparse but a quick call to the manufacturer found a company with friendly staff who were very happy to help and offer advice on using their products. Excellent service.Keep in mind that the actual concrete mix will have a large effect on the final color, so what you see in the picture may not be exactly what you wind up with. This is the nature of this type of stain and not negative comment on the product - just something to be aware of. The chemicals in the stain "react" with the concrete to give the color - a small variation in the mix or sand type etc. will change the final result - not that you will end up with blue when you ordered red - but the shading and tone may be different. You may need to experiment a bit to get what you want - but the end result is worth the effort.I used this and the "Mountain Road" color together - The colors by themselves have variations in their tones, but I blotted some extra of the two colors on in a few areas to vary the darkness a bit and give it a more visually interesting pattern.
I purchased both black walnut and azure sky to use over an extremely light brown shade that I loathed and actually hoped would accentuate the grays. I love the mix of the colors! Diluted them both since I actually desired a light look (as I was initially hoping for gray) and was able to cover my 250sqft room for a reasonable price with these two whose colors were perfectly vibrant even being diluted 5:1 and 4:1 respectively. Would definitely by again! Wish I purchased these the first time! Especially since I had enough black walnut left over to have produced the initial effect 🙃.
Trust the process. Half way through I thought it was going to turn out horrible. But it turned out great and we love it. I made sure our concrete was super clean and etched it before adding the stain. I sprayed mine in with a mixture of 3 parts water, 1 part stain. I applied 3 coats. After spraying the concrete with ammonia to level out the acid I scrubbed it again. Then applied a coat of sealant.
If you have a garage floor type concrete - this will work great for you. If you have the rougher drive way - not so good… I believe it even says that in the product…applied with a sponge and dabbed.Be sure to vacuum up once you apply neutralizer… it will stain the gutter. Thanksb
