RB! Thanks man. Getting the floor clean was 90% of the job. The stain took no time to put down (maybe an hour) however the sealer didn’t quite dry as fast as I had hoped. I ended up leaving the sealer on for an extra day before walking on it. Ventilation and a fan or two would really help.

I love the video! But I have questions about the prep work. Did you go in before hand and smooth out or resurface any of the concrete? Or was that the base slab?

How long did you have to wait after the initial cleaning to apply stain? Is this a project that can be done in one day for a bedroom? Or does it require drying time between steps?

Thank you great deal & looks sharp was @ a buddies house he just paid $5200 to get his done 🤷🏻‍♂️

Looks awesome, appreciate the the DIY video.

You show the staining process, but using an acid stain that requires neutralization, is the process the same with 2 different stain colors? Is there an issue of one color bleeding into the other during neutralization?

What was the total sq footage that you covered using the stain, and degreaser? And how many kits did you end up using?

They call him Hawk Eye Exton! That was just an access cover to a clean-out which are usually just a plastic cover. I took out the plastic and cut a piece of mdf, covered that with premixed concrete, and tried to blend it in. It looks like crap now and was a terrible idea. The mdf takes on too much moisture. Your comment is a good reminder for me to pull that up and see if it’s mouldy underneath.

I’m thinking about doing my garage as well but I deal with a lot of salt and snow where I live. I was thinking about using this stain and then finding a harder more industrial sealer (but will probably be slippery?). As for slick, the basement floor is not slick but it’s definitely slicker than just raw concrete. Maybe a guy could do two coats of sealer and put a little sand in the second coat?

Long story short: 2 thin coats and only let the first coat dry for maybe 15 minutes.

So when using a water based stain, do I need to clean the floor before applying the sealant?
