Limitations of Concrete Acid Stains

Length - 02:58

Many people love the natural color variations produced by acid-based chemical stains, but they do have some limitations, such as a limited palette of earth-toned colors and unpredictable coloring effects. Harris discusses how to overcome some of these limitations by pairing chemical stains with dyes or by using water-based stains. Using concrete dyes or water-based stains allows you to tap into a broader range of colors. Dyes can also be used to fix problem areas where chemical stains haven't taken.
