Short How-To Acid Stain
- Clean the concrete surface to make sure it is free of any topical coatings, oil, grease or dirt stains. We recommend the use of: Citra Pro (for grease) or oil. The best method for prep is our Concrete DNA Satellite pads (30 or 50 grit) underneath a low speed floor buffer and Super Blue diluted 1:9 (or more) with water. This gives your concrete a clean ‘chalkboard’ finish that will accept stain and create a surface profile for the sealer. DO NOT USE Muriatic Acid it will burn your concrete and remove what the stain needs to create all of the neat reactions.
- Apply the stain by using a plastic pump sprayer and spraying the floor in a random method fully saturating the surface.
- Allow floor to dry thoroughly. Drying time will vary from floor to floor according to the surface conditions and humidity. Next wash off any remaining residue.
- Allow the stained floor to dry again and apply sealer to enrich the color and protect the surface. We recommend our Super Prime as a base coat followed by one of our WB Urethanes as a topcoat. For outside projects we recommend one of our outside sealers.
- Apply Cherry Glo concrete floor finish for easy continued maintenance of your floor in conjunction with EZ Clean as the periodic floor cleaning soap.

This product provides excellent substrate penetration and is a suitable primer for most epoxies, urethanes, polyureas and polyaspartic polyureas.
