## Description

Tuff Crete Waterproofing Concrete Stain is a solvent acrylic designed for deep penetration into concrete surfaces. This produces the necessary waterproofing adhesion by penetrating porous surfaces for outstanding durability for the life of your stained concrete. The low sheen finish provides traction on floors and helps hide surface defects. The application of Waterproofing Concrete Stain on concrete surfaces will limit spalling and substrate deterioration. Waterproofing indoor/ outdoor concrete stain is excellent in preventing the penetration of water, which helps limit chipping and peeling. Recommended for commercial and residential applications including stucco, aggregate, floors, ramps, driveways, walkways, patios, steps, block brick, and pool deck paint.

Review: Don’t use any other concrete stain! - This is an amazing product! I’ve never stained concrete before but Tuffcrete made it so easy. I’m building a house that will be a rental property and opted for stained concrete floors because they’re renter friendly and inexpensive. This was new concrete, poured about three months prior to staining, so I didn’t have to etch or grind. I did vacuum (shop vac) the floors and then washed them (garden hose with Dawn dish detergent, and vacuumed up the water). I chose a water based stain because I wanted lighter colors than you can get from acid stain. Acid staining also had extra steps of neutralizing and washing the stain. I did these floors by myself so I wanted to minimize the work. I was going for a random look so I wanted to spray the floors as opposed to using a roller. I had problems with sprayers. First I tried a pump sprayer that you would use to kill weeds. I diluted the stain with 20% water (about 26 oz of water for each gallon) and it still clogged the sprayer up. Next I tried a corded paint sprayer, which was a nightmare with the electrical cord to the sprayer and a hose from the sprayer to the trigger. I spent more time moving and wrestling cords than I did spraying. Finally I got a cordless paint sprayer from Wagner which was significantly easier and faster. The only issue was the battery doesn’t last long, so get at least 2 batteries! One of the reasons I chose Tuffcrete is because they said it is self-priming and self-sealing. And it really is! I was thrilled to avoid two extra steps in the process. I also love that I won’t have to etch or grind this stain in the future because there’s no heavy sealer. I can just apply the same product on top of this as needed. I used Tintable White and Desert Sand. I did two coats of the white to give the floors a solid base then one light coat of sand for a little bit of contrast. I diluted the stain with 20% water each time. I used about 2 gallons of white stain for one coat on about 1,550sf of floor. And 1 gallon of sand for the lighter coat on top. The attached pictures show the original bare floor, two coats of white, and the finished floors. Hope this helps you!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Color lighter than the chart
*by J***Y on May 10, 2023*

The product went on very easy; when you first apply It looks like paint, but then it dries in to a nice stained look. The seller sent me 2 gallons of the wrong color so I didn’t have enough to finish. I may end up recording with a darker color as it looks much lighter than the chart. According to all my research, this is the only concrete stain which will hold up except for an acid wash product. Goes on easy highly recommend.
