• It is UV stable and will not fade from exposure to direct sunlight.
• Aqua-Stain UV can be used alone, mixed, blended or layered for any number of natural looking effects.

Aqua-Stain UV vs Aqua-Tint?

• For outdoor applications, it is safer to use Aqua-Stain UV. On indoor applications with tight finishes such as a burnished or polished surface, Aqua-Tint (sold here) may be the better choice. If the concrete is neither outdoors nor has a polished finish, either product will work well. A rough analogy is the stains are a form of paint, and dyes are more like an ink.

Note: this video shows only one application technique to create a variegated or stone faux finish look. Other application methods such as a brush, sponge, or rag will create different effects.

Color Chart

WARNING: Colors may vary depending on concrete mixture initial color and the porosity of the concrete. The samples below were created on top of a standard gray concrete mix. The mottled effect was created by applying one coat evenly with a rag. Additional coats were then applied in a random, non-uniform applications to give variegated look commonly seen with acid stains. If a more uniform look is desired, this can be achieved with more even applications.
