Used the Direct Colors concrete patching compound and some concrete pigment to patch all the pitted areas. Used a pump sprayer to apply the antiquing stain, which went on easily and consistently. Applied the two coats of acrylic sealer and the color popped! My patio looks brand new. We are extremely happy with the outcome, easy application, and great look.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Personal Tips:<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen filling concrete pits with the patching compound, sand down the compound slightly before it&#8217;s solid, otherwise it&#8217;s almost impossible to sand down..<br \/>\nWhen applying the acrylic sealer, let the weight of the saturated roller do the work. I personally found that rolling the roller back from the far end, let the sealer apply nicely.. Roll the roller nice and slow to prevent the acrylic sealer from bubbling as it dries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Direct Colors<\/strong> Products Used:<br \/>\n1 Gal.

It gets lots of use from our cars and lots of sun! It has been 2 years since we stained and sealed it. We also have a compass rose stamped into the area that we walk on. We choose a compass because we live on North West Blvd! We choose to stain it Cafe Royal with Aztec Brown accents. The conpass rose needed to be freshened up too, so we purchased your sample kit with the colors Crimson, Wheat and Black. It turned out beautiful!!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Personal Tips:<\/strong><br \/>\nApply several layers of stain to darken it. And be generous! I don&#8217;t think you can mess this up! So easy! We sprayed on the stain and let it dry overnight. My husband and I (we are 64 and 65!) worked together. I sprayed on the sealer and he immediately rolled it, with a long-handled paint roller, for a nice even, thin layer. By rolling it, we could get close to the house and garage doors easily. After one day, we repeated the sealing process. The stain just comes alive when that sealer is applied!!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Direct Colors<\/strong> Products Used:<br \/>\n5 Gal.

Our goal was to bring the entry back to a consistent finish and seal it to improve it&#8217;s appearance. There was quite a bit of variation as some areas were covered and others exposed to full sun. Pressure washing had damaged some areas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Personal Tips:<\/strong><br \/>\nWe pressure washed the concrete first using a low pressure cleaner and then high pressure to remove any dirt and debris. We allowed it to dry for 24 hours. We chose to roll the antiquing stain as there was quite a bit of variation in the impressions. We used a 3\/8&#8243; roller cover being sure to get even coverage. We did allow some of the stain to settle into the recessed creating an attractive color enhancement. Let the roller do the work! We chose to do three coats to achieve uniform coverage. We then rolled the clear sealer. Again, we chose to do three coats which resulted in an amazing color effect and it also leveled some of the gritty areas. It&#8217;s an amazing change that took us three days. Keep the area as clean as you can but don&#8217;t worry about any small leaves or debris. It is easily removed before additional coats. We waited four hours between coats with temperatures in the high 70s. No issues with tracking or roller marks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Direct Colors<\/strong> Products Used:<br \/>\n2 x 5 Gal.

Floor buffer was rented and lots of elbow grease was used to clean floor. Direct Colors Hard Troweled Floor Pre-Treatment was sprayed on floor with pump sprayer, then water was removed with shop vacuum. Floor was then mopped one more time with just water and allowed to dry overnight. 3 different acetone dye colors was applied to floor, lightest to darkest. Acetone dye was mixed to instructions and applied with an acetone sprayer. When applying the 2nd color and 3rd colors, I used more of it in areas and also applied the color (sephia) with a sponge brush to try to add more detail and depth to color. It took 3 days to apply sealer with a roller, 1 coat for each day, (three coats of sealer total.) After 3 days Residential Concrete Floor Wax that was applied, again with a roller. Two coats of wax gave it a nice shine.<\/li>\n<li>Personal Tips:<br \/>\nCarry around a small bucket to catch drips from acetone sprayer. Every time I stopped or paused spraying drips from sprayer got on the floor. You can also try to bleed them out as well (spray a little more on the spot to make it less noticeable). Use disposable shoe covers or some old shoes to spray acetone dye. Wear a respirator mask, acetone smell was intense. Don&#8217;t go cheap on the rollers, a less expensive paint roller was leaving streaks in the sealer, I switched to a microfiber roller which worked so much better. Wipe wax drips up immediately. I made the mistake of letting some wax drips sit on floor too long, thinking I would just roll over it and smooth it out when I got back to the area.
