Hi Kevin! I finally got my basement floor acid stained. It looks great! Right now, it's in the drying process from being neutralized. I'm letting it dry for 5 days before I apply the water based sealer. I have some small paint spots that I couldn't remove with a scraper before I sprayed the stain which I'll use water color to touch up tonight. Just to let you know, your video has been extremely helpful as I viewed it several times to get the effect that you and your wife did. Thank you for posting!! Have a great New Year!

Looks great! I had my floors done professionally about 5 years ago in a brown shade much darker than what you guys did. I’d like to make a change and go with an almost white shade this time and attempt to do it myself after watching your video. Any ideas what I would need to do to prep, strip, primer before going with the lighter color?

Kevin, we have recently built, the company who stained and polished our floors were just short of a nightmare. The final result was acceptable. However, when the final cleaners went through the house allowed the cleaner to drip onto the floor leaving spots here and there. The company did come through and spot fixed the worst of them but would not acknowledge the minor spots through the house. And would not show us how to remove the spots that took him minutes to repair. How do i remove those lightened spots?

For enough supplies to do my almost 900 sq ft of flooring it was about $550 with all of the equipment a well.

What kind of sealant could I use, for indoors, such as rooms, kitchen or bathroom, beside the one you used? I want a matte/flat look. I would also prefer something that would stand the trial of time, and be as permanent as possible. What kind of material or properties should I be looking when shopping for such sealant? Would urethane work? Would this work? www.homedepot.com/p/Eagle-5-gal-Natural-Seal-Penetrating-Clear-Water-Based-Concrete-and-Masonry-Water-Repellant-Sealer-and-Salt-Repellant-EM5/203075976 Please share any info or suggestion, whether what I mentioned could work or not. (also, how many square feet of floor are covered by 1 galon of product?)

Hi there this is Annissa Kevin's camera girl and concrete staining chica :) Most sealers cover about 200 sq ft per gallon is what I have found. I am not familiar with the sealer you showed in your comment however I picked by sealer because of its long lasting properties and quality. They make a matte finish additive for most sealer that you can buy from amazon that you add to your sealer before applying it to get the desired matte finish you want.

Hi thanks for your reply! It seems amazon won't ship chemical components to where I live :( .... are there 2-3 sealer options you could recommend from Home depot or walmart?

to be clear the topcoat will need to be reapplied in 5 years not the stain. just the clear sealer mostly in the traffic areas.

Concrete floor will be loud and with echo's. Is there a way to prevent this?
@KevinCoyaselfreliantlife
@KevinCoyaselfreliantlife 6 лет назад
That has not been our experience. I have lived on concrete slab floors for over 20 years. Some like this and others with tile or carpet. It is a popular form of construction.

I thought you SHOULD NOT use water after staining... 😳
@KevinCoyaselfreliantlife
@KevinCoyaselfreliantlife 7 лет назад
Once you get the desired effect you can neutralize with water and ammonia that sets the stain.Water will not affect it after that.
