Sorry I was unclear I want to stain my concrete slabs with an acid stain just wanted to know if any one has used it before and can recommend a decent brand.

I know I have to wait a few weeks before I stain it.

Tekstain is a good one, not cheap from memory though.

Absolutely, lets face it, its a job you only want to do once, cos if a naff product is used-well I'm sure we've all been there once-, ezy to put down, not so easy to get rid of it.

that's my thinking as well mate, its false economy but you don't know until its too late sometimes.

that is why I am doing the research now.

I may just seal it and not bother with the colour if it looks good

well someone called tonight from Tekstain left a message i couldnt make out driving in a car probably on his way home from work dont give me great first impressions of the company

 

[123hotchef]

I am not going to stain it now I like the grey colour, so can anyone recommend a decent sealer?

 

[Screwdriver]

No. I'm going to wait until you need a Kango.
