Colorant Recommendation Chart
Water Absorption Test: Before choosing a colorant, it's crucial to test the concrete's readiness for staining. Pour a small amount of water on the concrete. If it absorbs within 5 minutes, the concrete surface is suitable for staining. However, if the water does not absorb in that time frame, the concrete will need further preparation, such as etching with CitrusEtch™ Concrete Etcher.
Follow these simple steps to determine the best colorant product for your concrete finish:
- Determine the finish of your concrete surface.
- Locate the column for that finish on the right side of the chart.
- Look for the 'BEST' recommendation for an ideal match. 'GOOD' is also a suitable option.
