Antiquing™ Stain is a semi-transparent, solvent-based concrete stain crafted to enhance the aesthetic appeal of outdoor concrete surfaces. Its premium, spray-on formula is specifically tailored for use on stamped concrete driveways, patios, pool decks, walkways, and other outdoor concrete areas.
Designed for both revitalization and color restoration, Antiquing™ Stain excels in breathing new life into faded or discolored stamped, broomed, swirled, hand troweled, or textured concrete. It stands out as a superior alternative to traditional coloring methods, such as colored stamped release forms, by offering an easier, mess-free application process suitable for both professionals and homeowners.
The key to its effectiveness lies in a unique blend of pigments and dispersants that ensure the color not only enhances the concrete's surface but also highlights its natural textures and indentations, creating a distinctive antique look.
Antiquing™ Stain MUST be sealed.
| Product Type | Semi-transparent, solvent-based antiquing stain for concrete. |
|---|---|
| Recommended Uses | Stamped concrete driveways, patios, pool decks, walkways, and other exterior concrete. |
| Location | Exterior use only. |
| Surface Preparation | Concrete cured 28+ days, clean and dry. Remove oil, grease, curing compounds, sealers, and incompatible coatings. Profile test: water should absorb within 3–5 min; if it beads, etch or mechanically abrade and retest. May not adhere to hard-troweled/smooth surfaces. |
| Mixing | Shake/stir thoroughly before and during use. Using more than one jug, combine (“box”) all jugs and remix for uniform color. Do not thin or dilute. |
| Application Tools | Pump-up sprayer with filter removed, in circular, overlapping passes. Mop, sponge, or rag to create accents. |
| Application Temperature | Air 40–95°F (4–35°C); surface 50–85°F (10–29°C). Apply to a cool surface, out of direct sun—early evening is best. Hot or sunny surfaces can cause bubbling and hazing. |
| Coats | Apply 2 coats wet-on-wet (no drying between coats). |
| Coverage | Approximately 200 sq. ft. (18.6 m²) per gallon for two coats; varies with surface porosity and texture. |
| Re-Coat Time | Additional coats may be applied immediately, without waiting. |
| Dry Time (before sealing) | Allow the final coat to dry a minimum of 8 hours (longer in cool or humid conditions) so solvents fully evaporate. Sealing too soon can cause haze or poor adhesion. |
| Sealing | Required. Antiquing™ Stain is not a sealer—unsealed surfaces will not show true color and color can wash off. |
| Recommended Sealers | AcquaSeal™ or HydroCryl™ (water-based acrylic), or EasySeal™ (solvent-based acrylic). |
| Tool & Spill Cleanup | Xylene, before the stain dries. |
| Limitations | Won’t hide cracks, stains, blemishes, or surface irregularities. Not for interior use. Always test a small area first. |
| Ventilation & Safety | DANGER: Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Combustible. Use only with adequate ventilation; wear a mask, safety glasses, and chemical-resistant gloves. Solvent-soaked rags can self-ignite—dry flat outdoors or seal in a water-filled metal container. |
| Storage / Shelf Life | Use within 1 year of purchase. Store indoors, cool, away from direct sunlight, heat, and open flame. |
