staining concrete floors

Hi,

Does anyone have any recommendations for products to use to stain concrete floors? We're looking to acid etch our basement floor to get that sort of marbled look.

Thanks

i've moved your post to the Concrete topic - if they can't help here, maybe you can repost in the Faux Finishing topic & try there.

good luck!

fixing a leaking painted concrete wall

Hello: Can you help me. I manage a small apartment building, built in 1928. It has concrete and lathe walls, and hardwood floors. Today, we discovered water on the hardwood floor near the base molding on a top floor bedroom. We surmise that the problem is that the old concrete has become porous, and needs some sort of coating to seal it on the exterior. There are no holes on the outside or cracks that we can see. The only thing I found is for unpainted concrete floors. The area in question is about 25 feet above the ground. Thanks, KynthiaRead More

Replacing existing bricks

acftmech on Nov 26, 2004

Been doing some research on replacing bricks for the outside of a home. It doesn't look to tough to cut/chip out a brick, clean it up, apply mortar and put it back in, then clean up excess. Just wondering if anyone has ever done it, is there any tricks/tips to help out. Is it as easy as it looks? Thanks! AcftMecH!Read More
