BEEST Concrete Stain - Burnt Ember, Test 8 oz Concrete Dye on a Small Area for Desired Results - Acid Stain for Floors, Pavers, Patios, Countertop, Cement, Driveway - Unique Marbled Finish

This stained more floor than 8 anticipated. Very please with the darkness.Worked better when I sealed it with a concrete sealer. Would definitely recommend doing that

This acid stain is the perfect color. You have to know that the color will vary when using an acid stain. It is not a solid color and the results will vary. That being said, the stain worked great and was very easy to work with. It is similar to natural stone as in no 2 areas will be the same and this adds to the character.

I recently used BEEST Concrete Acid Stain for my patio project. The product has some good qualities, but there are a few drawbacks worth mentioning.Pros:Color Variety: The stain offers a decent range of colors, which allowed me to find a shade that matched my vision.Durability: Once applied, the stain seems to hold up well against weather and foot traffic.Cons:Application Process: The application was more challenging than expected. It required multiple coats to achieve an even finish, which was time-consuming.Color Consistency: The final color was not as consistent as I hoped. There were some areas where the stain appeared blotchy.Odor: The stain has a strong odor during application, which made it necessary to wear a mask and ensure good ventilation.Overall, BEEST Concrete Acid Stain is an average product. It gets the job done but requires patience and effort to achieve the desired results.

9-30-24For reference in my photos, I mixed this with a 1:1 ratio with water, applied 1 heavy coat with a common pump garden sprayer, over 2 year old brush finished concrete.This goes on as a milky yellow and about as thin as water making it easy to spray.I ended up using 1/2 gallon of the acid stain to do a 10'x20' or 200 square feet area.1 gallon can cover 200-800 square feet depending on if it's diluted porosity of the concrete how many coats and how heavy their applied and other fac tors.The burnt ember was a perfect choice for camouflaging existing, non removable rust and battery acid stains on my concrete pad.I didn't do as much prep as suggested, just a thorough foam cannon wash , triple rinse with my power washer and overnight dry before dampening the concrete and spraying the acid stain on. I used a stiff bristled broom to sweep any puddling, as it's not recommended to let puddles sit.It's recommended to allow the acid stain to sit for a minimum of 6 hours to do it's thing before adding additional coats if you want a darker color.You'll need to neutralize the acid stain before moving on to the next steps. This brand has their own or use something compatible.I used a mixture of 1lb of baking soda to 5 gallons of water and use the same garden sprayer to distribute it, without issue.You can also apply a sealer to deepen the color if you want, but you need to wait at least 24 hours before applying sealer once you achieve results you like and have neutralized the stain.I really like the results, it reminds me of the red rocks in Sedona Arizona. I'm going to stare at it for the next couple weeks to decide if I actually want to put a sealer on it and deepen the color. I did a test area for comparison.This was so much easier to apply than epoxy takes less time for curing etcetera, especially since my concrete is outdoors and the wind and dust seems to never stop blowing.I will be ordering more and plan to do more of a design utilizing tape to make a diamond pattern. I'll see how that turns out and will share some photos.Hopefully my written and photo reviews are helpful, Thank you!

This is pretty good stuff to add some color to your finished concrete floor. Mixes with water and can be applied with a garden sprayer. It will turn out kind of splotchy, depending on imperfections and prior stains on your concrete. Make sure you clean your floor before you apply the stain. It also hides some of these stains. or at least make them not as apparent. It will extend the life of the stain if you seal it afterwards. This company makes some excellent products for that also. Good value for this stain.

This is a great product.Reading over the instructions is a breeze and super easy to understand how to use it.It is best to for sure follow the instructions for applying this, particularly the surface condition and temperatures outside.It is a great way to add some pizazz to your concrete sidewalk or even a garage floor! Great for a basement as well.Super happy with it.

I've used several different brands of acid stain, and this works just as well as what I'm used to. For me, I've found a lot of success with buying a dark color and then diluting it in water to get several different shades for my projects. Mostly I use this on mortar that I sculpt into stone walls. Shading / coloring cement is a real artform and using a light shade here, a darker one there, etc etc.. really makes the final product pop.I'm glad I got it
