DIY Concrete Staining Basement Floor

I decided to try and DIY my basement floor with a concrete stain (link below) for a flooring alternative. I couldn’t afford to epoxy the basement floor but I found this product online at www.diyconcrete.com and thought I’d give it a shot. The last thing I wanted to do was apply garage floor paint because I’ve used it before and it always turns out terribly. Getting the concrete clean enough to apply the stain was probably the hardest part for this job. Overall it worked pretty good but I could have probably done a little better job with the application of the sealer. Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for watching.
Here's the kit I got: diyconcrete.com/collections/p...

OMG thank you so much for explaining how you do it on an interior room! Every video I’ve watched are great videos and well explained EXCEPT they have all been unfinished garages or exterior spaces! Lol, seems trivial but I’m not an expert an when you have no clue it really is the little things that can keep you from moving forward with a project like this.

Love the vid. We tested our technique with the stain in newspaper until we found our groove. At first we thought it looked like an 80’s hair salon but once you get your furniture in & a couple rugs, it really is an awesome finish. We went for a more mottled look in a dark brown.

@@RinkVideo since I wrote this,my wife wrote a review on their Facebook page and two other businesses replied that they we’re having problems and they had their money but no product. Those two dug deeper and contacted the owner in Minnesota and the BBB. As of last night we all have received emails saying due too relocation and inventory they are canceling all current orders and refunding payments. So hopefully that happens. A little communication could have eased a lot of this.

This 100% (almost) convinced me that we will be doing this to our basement. Our sump pumps stopped and we had a flood, so we had to tear up the flooring, so this is a great, cheaper alternative to do! Do you have any suggestions for if there are small cracks, fill them in, leave them? Thanks. Subscribed and liked!

@RinkVideo 5 месяцев назад

NEW SUB PARTY!!!!!! You know I think it all depends on what kind of style/look you're going for. Sometimes repairing the cracks looks worse than the crack itself. This is a decision that only you can make but maybe you could try fixing a crack in an area that isn't visible and go from there? I feel bad for your luck with the sumps quitting. Nobody needs that headache! Thanks for the support!

About how long do you think it took you once you got the floor cleaned? Great video btw! Subbed and can't wait to watch more vids!!

RB! Thanks man. Getting the floor clean was 90% of the job. The stain took no time to put down (maybe an hour) however the sealer didn’t quite dry as fast as I had hoped. I ended up leaving the sealer on for an extra day before walking on it. Ventilation and a fan or two would really help.

Hi great video. Planning on doing this to my basement soon. Question for ya, what type of sand paper did you use on the concrete sander for cleaning your floors? Thank you

@RinkVideo 11 месяцев назад

Hey Jason, I rented that orbital sander from Home Depot and they basically had 3 different sanding pads. They’re kinda like scotchbrite texture. The white one was too soft so I used the black and green. Long story short: they’ll have what you need at the tool rental.

@tommy5241 27 дней назад

many of the videos show rinsing the stain with water. How do you get rid of the water? Water vac it up? I don't have drains in the room. Not like patio which is outside and you can sweep/wash the excess off into the ground.

@paschaconley2210 2 года назад

This looks like perfect idea for my older house with a utility/laundry room. You did say the clear coat over the stain does have a strong smell. How long did that last for? I have cat that I keep litter box in and concerned about the strong smell.

@karenkeith8878 Год назад

Love your video. Can you spray on your sealer instead of rolling it?

@RinkVideo Год назад

Hmmmm that's an interesting question. I feel like if that was an option I would not have rolled mine but I can't say for sure. Which is odd because I sprayed my concrete driveway with the same sprayer. I feel like maybe it's too thick to spray maybe? Anyway, short answer is I'm not sure.

@anndenton5260 7 месяцев назад

Love the way your floor turned out. Do you think this would be OK to do on an area that's gets flooded from salt water?

They call him Hawk Eye Exton! That was just an access cover to a clean-out which are usually just a plastic cover. I took out the plastic and cut a piece of mdf, covered that with premixed concrete, and tried to blend it in. It looks like crap now and was a terrible idea. The mdf takes on too much moisture. Your comment is a good reminder for me to pull that up and see if it’s mouldy underneath.

Rink my son is going to attempt this diy (staining concrete floor)and we pretty much understand by watching your video(great by the way)but could you let us know the sprayer you used for the stain?

@RinkVideo 2 года назад

I used the one that came with the kit but it’s pretty small. So I borrowed one from my buddy…not sure what kind it was. I think you could use any sort of weed sprayer but the one that comes with the kit has a couple different nozzles. It’s my personal opinion that the type of sprayer doesn’t really much matter. Maybe take a look at the diyconcrete.com site to see if they have any specific info. Honestly I wouldn’t sweat it though.

@danielpotter1747 Год назад

Howdy! Great video and perfect for a first timer on concrete staining. I have one question for you…. Can more then one coat of the sealer go on? I ask because I see concrete stained floors and where there’s heavy traffic the stain has worn off. Obviously we’d like ours to last a very long time. We are doing our entire 2000 square-foot house before we put up the interior walls. Do you have any advice to offer us being we’ve never done this before?

@RinkVideo Год назад

Yes 100% you can put more than 1 coat on!

@RinkVideo Год назад

Also you’re going to have to cover the floor with ram board or something so it doesn’t get trashed during wall construction! Id suggest framing and drywall first, then stain the floor, then mill work and paint!

Meg! Glad you liked. I only did a couple super light coats so I hardly used any stain. Can’t remember if I mentioned it in the video but I think I had 4-6 bottles of stain but only ended up using 2. (Maybe not even) I didn’t want it too dark so I diluted it more than what was recommended and I sprayed it on super thin. Like super duper thin because I didn’t want to overdo it. Long story short: 2 thin coats and only let the first coat dry for maybe 15 minutes.
