I haven\u2019t started the other area yet due to the current issue with the stain.<\/li>\n<li>I started the project by cleaning the concrete patio area first with water rinse and then with a commercial concrete clean &amp; etch solution using a stiff hand-held bristle broom brush.<\/li>\n<li>I repeated this step several times to make sure that I removed as much of the grime and dirt buildup as possible.<\/li>\n<li>I allowed the area too dry and after drying performed a water test to see if water would absorb in the concrete or remain on the surface.<\/li>\n<li>Water test was successful so I began to tape the area off with painters plastic and tape.<\/li>\n<li>Started applying the Terra Cotta stain with pump sprayer and using spike shoes. The concrete easily absorbed the stain \u00a0but seemed to be very light in color that I applied a second coat after allowing the first coat to dry after 5 hours. Temperature was around 85 degrees so the stain was drying rather quickly.<\/li>\n<li>After allowing the second coat to dry overnight. I still needed to apply some more to certain areas that were not as dark as the other areas.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0So I ended up applying (3) coats of the Antique Terra Cotta Stain.<\/li>\n<li>After allowing the third application of the stain to dry. I noticed a fine power like dust on the surface of my concrete and was not sure if I needed to proceed before applying the high gloss sealer. I called direct colors and was told my product of Antiquing Terra Cotta can be applied without neutralizing the concrete area.<\/li>\n<li>I then proceeded to apply the High Gloss Sealer using a pump sprayer . Allowing first coat to dry before applying the second coat.<\/li>\n<li>The patio area looked great but after a couple of weeks dark patterns started to show through the acid stain and sealer in the area most exposed to direct sunlight.<\/li>\n<li>I must admit that I didn&#8217;t use a commercial power washer but hand scrubbing with concrete clean &amp; etch solution and water from my garden hose with a turbo jet high spray hose nozzle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Direct Colors Reply:<\/p>\n<p>Hi Eric,<\/p>\n<p>My first concern is that the concrete possibly having some of that chemical left on the surface, causing an unwanted chemical reaction. My next concern is having too much of the pigment on the surface with three coats. It is really hard to see the true color of our Antiquing Stain without sealer being applied, and sometimes customers will apply more than what is needed.<\/p>\n<p>Once the mineral spirits are dry and done off-gassing, you\u2019re just left with powdered pigments nested on the concrete and in the pores. If there is too much pigment on the surface, this can cause adhesion issues with the acrylic surface. The sealer ends up attaching to the pigment and not the surface of the actual concrete, or it will \u201clift\u201d, or lose adhesion quickly if not well-bonded to the concrete.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also possible that there was a bit of moisture left in the concrete and it has gotten trapped between the sealer and the surface.<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s try something. First, if you have any sealer leftover, use it for this, and if not, pick up a small container of xylene from a local hardware store. In one of the smaller areas, off to the side, very lightly spritz a small amount of the sealer or xylene over it and walk away. This will emulsify the sealer and help it re-adhere or allow the moisture to escape.<\/p>\n<p>Allow it to fully cure and let me know how it looks, if it worked or if it goes back to the way it looks now.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-xs-12&#8243;][vc_tta_accordion section_title_tag=&#8221;h3&#8243; style=&#8221;modern&#8221; color=&#8221;blue&#8221; c_icon=&#8221;&#8221; active_section=&#8221;100&#8243; no_fill=&#8221;true&#8221; collapsible_all=&#8221;true&#8221;][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fas fa-chevron-down&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; title=&#8221;View Products&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1664380789435-625f718b-92c7473c-9f5e&#8221;][vc_row_inner gap=&#8221;10&#8243;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;92899&#8243; img_size=&#8221;150&#215;150&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_shadow_circle&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/directcolors.com\/concrete-antiquing-stain\/?product_code=DC-ANS-400&amp;variant_id=38093&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;95651&#8243; img_size=&#8221;150&#215;150&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_shadow_circle&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/directcolors.com\/sprayable-satin-finish-concrete-sealer\/&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=&#8221;10&#8243; el_class=&#8221;top-heading&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1615671456384{padding-left: 10px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; el_class=&#8221;projects-blog-title&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1725280299059{padding-left: 30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;64px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Patio Extension Paradise<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This DIYer&#8217;s best advice was &#8220;don&#8217;t rush it&#8221;.

It is created by cutting lines or grooves into the surface of freshly poured and hardened concrete. These lines can be of various widths, depths, and patterns, and are typically made using a cutting tool such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomasnet.com\/articles\/machinery-tools-supplies\/best-concrete-saws\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">concrete saw<\/a> or grooving machine.<\/p>\n<p>The resulting surface is textured, with a decorative pattern that can be used to create a variety of visual effects. The scoring can serve both aesthetic and functional purposes, it also prevent concrete cracking or spalling. Additionally, scored concrete can be stained, tinted, or painted to further enhance its appearance.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How to Score Concrete&#8221; style=&#8221;text_only&#8221; open=&#8221;true&#8221;]Scoring concrete is a great way to add both function and aesthetics to your concrete surface. Special equipment must be used, such as diamond masonry blades or concrete engraving tools, depending on the desired pattern.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re planning to score your concrete before it&#8217;s poured, you can use a groover to create the lines in the fresh concrete, rather than cutting them into hardened concrete. The depth of the score lines does not have to be as deep as control joints, usually \u00bc inch is sufficient.<\/p>\n<p>There are many tools available for cutting pattern lines into concrete, including grinders, hand-held saws, and special engraving tools. Combining stains and stencils, tape or custom templates can also produce dramatic effects and create tile patterns, free-form designs and other graphics.<\/p>\n<p>When scoring and staining concrete, keep in mind that if the floor will be all one color, you can cut the lines and patterns after staining is complete. On the other hand, if the colors will change at the pattern line, it&#8217;s best to cut the line first to form a barrier and achieve a crisper design. It is also recommended to cut the lines before cleaning the surface, or after applying the first coat of sealer.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;97079&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/directcolors.com\/contest\/&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Unlock the Potential of Scored and Stained Concrete: Inspiration from our Gallery [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Transform your outdoor space with a stunning scored concrete patio or add character to your indoor floors with beautiful stained scored concrete.
